Singing Prayer (ft. Alex Rettman) | Prayer E5

About this episode

Alex Rettman explores the concept of singing as a form of prayer and its impact on worship and spiritual life.

Can your singing actually be prayer to God? In this teaching, Alex Rettman explores three powerful truths about worship: it changes us as we behold God's glory, it moves God's heart when we offer costly praise, and it shifts circumstances as we lay a target for His kingdom to come. He shows us how worship isn't just about singing songs: it's about expressing our delight in God in ways that complete our joy and partner with Him in pushing back darkness. Key Scripture Passages: Exodus 33v18-23; John 1v18; 2 Corinthians 3v16-18; Psalm 22v3; Isaiah 42v10-13 This podcast and its episodes are paid for by The Circle, our community of monthly givers.
