Watch John Piper Sermon: The Mighty Ministry of Song: How Praise Shapes the Saints.
John Piper analyzes a verse from Colossians 3:16, emphasizing the power of singing in the Christian life. He draws parallels between singing before battles in the Bible (Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20) and the spiritual warfare of modern believers. Singing is not merely an emotional expression—it is a mighty spiritual weapon that influences the invisible world.
The preacher shares personal testimonies, including a case of exorcism, where hymns had power against demonic influence, and his experience of how worship helped him overcome family difficulties. He highlights that Christian singing has a profound impact both on personal life and the spiritual atmosphere around us.
