What If I Don't Like My Church's Music? (9Marks: Church Questions)

Pastor and Hymn Writer Matthew Boswell Shows Christians How to Set Aside Personal Preferences and Put God First in Worship

When believers worship as one, they delight in the Lord, encourage each other, and declare God’s glory to the world. But sometimes, singing together can be difficult, or even frustrating, due to incompatible music styles or traditions. How can Christians overcome these differences and learn to sing in harmony?

In this accessible booklet, pastor and musician Matthew Boswell helps readers offer heartfelt, Christ-centered praise during church, even when they don’t like the music or aren’t familiar with the lyrics. He emphasizes the biblical significance of worship in a person’s relationship with God, their discipleship with fellow believers, and their witness to others. Redirecting the focus away from personal preferences, this booklet reminds Christians of the many reasons they have to glorify God with thankful hearts.
