Worship on Sunday is a symbol like the cross or the Apostles'Creed. When we gather to worship on Sunday, it signifies who we are and to whom we belong as those who share Christ's dying and rising. On this day, we experience and celebrate God's abiding presence with us through the Holy Spirit.

As you may know, hymns and other Christian songs are full of rich, theological text. The act of singing uses both part's of the brain, therefore it can educate us and teach us about the gospel of Jesus Christ. Singing connects us emotionally. Songs of celebration have the power to lead us to dance.

It is regarded by most Christians as the Lord's Day, or the weekly memorial of Jesus Christ's Resurrection from the dead. The practice of Christians gathering together for worship on Sunday dates back to apostolic times, but details of the actual development of the custom are not clear.

Singing in a church choir helps members deepen their faith and connect with others, offering spiritual growth and fulfillment. Choirs improve worship by leading congregational singing, which teaches hearts to praise God together, creating a powerful sense of community.

But underlying what we do are God's grace-filled purposes for His gathered church. He invites us each and every Sunday to behold Him in His glory, to respond in worship, to rehearse all that He has accomplished through Jesus, and to participate in the work of building up His body through Spirit-empowered ministry.

Worshipping God is a commandment

One of the ways we keep this commandment is to meet together on Sundays to worship God and give Him thanks. We are also strengthened when we are around other believers, see their faith, and hear their experiences and testimonies.

We sing to strengthen our hearts in the truth of God's Word.

In Colossians 3:16, Paul tells us to let the Word of Christ dwell richly in us and then he tells us how to do that…. by singing Psalms, hymns and spiritual songs.

We all know there's a perfect song for every mood. But singing, particularly in a group, also boosts the release of endorphins and serotonin – feel-good happy hormones. Performing live also stimulates adrenaline, and singing improves your immune system by reducing the stress hormone cortisol.

5) Sunday is a Day in Which We Anticipate New Creation:

Though Christians are not under the Sabbath Laws, the sixth day of the week still serves as a great time to remember God as “Creator” (Exodus 20:8-11). Sunday is a time to celebrate and anticipate God's New Creation, which is already breaking in.

For most Christians, Sunday is observed as a day of worship and rest, holding it as the Lord's Day and the day of Christ's resurrection; in the United States, Canada, China, Japan, as well as in parts of South America, Sunday is the first day of the week.

Sunday is a day of rest

Sunday is a wonderful day to give your body the rest it needs and deserves. By taking the time to relax and refocus on what is truly important, you allow yourself an opportunity to rejuvenate and gain greater physical, mental, and spiritual health.

It is easy to see why God gave us song in our lives. Your spiritual gift of singing is surely related to the gift given to members of God's angel choirs. Their singing is pure and sacred and full of joy. Your singing, too, when delivered in praise from the heart will approach that quality.

Our voices are the potential source of incredibly deep healing and transformation. They are a powerful way of channeling your energy directly into the physical plane, compressing your desire into a hear-able, feel-able wave of intention that literally impacts your reality.

Hymn singing is important for a number of reasons: Teaching – as Christians sing songs and hymns the truths of what they are signing continue to teach them more about God. Admonishing – singing hymns and songs helps Christians to correct one another as they examine their lives against the words they sing.

Since Sunday is the Lord's day, it was the day for meeting with Jesus in worship (Mark 16:9,12,14; Luke 24:13-35 compared with John 20:14-17 and 19-23; Luke 24:36-49 compared with John 20:26-29).

For most Christians, Sunday is observed as a day of worship and rest, holding it as the Lord's Day and the day of Christ's resurrection; in the United States, Canada, China, Japan, as well as in parts of South America, Sunday is the first day of the week.

Hebrews 10:25 emphasizes the need to encourage one another in the Christian life. We are to “stir up one another.” We are to encourage each other to meet together. This goes beyond a Sunday morning service. This entails sharing life together.

Originally, Saturday is the Lord's day, as it is the Sabbath day. However, after Jesus' rising from the dead on the first day of the week, Sunday, the early Christians start to meet on this day as well, just as they would meet on Sabbath day with the Jewish community in the synagogues.
