We know that music and musicians play an important part of worship. Joshua understood the directions to put the “band” up front of the army as they marched around Jericho. In addition, King David put the “band” up front, as he returned to Jerusalem. The purpose of music was to prepare the way for God to reveal Himself to His people. Both in battle and in the temple, we want to be up front trusting God in all things. Want to sharpen your sound and deepen your ministry?
