Singing in Church

Did the first chirstians sing in church?

Why do we spend so many minutes singing in church?

I am not sure there is scripture to say definitively that they sang in church, but considering the early church was mostly made up of Messianic Jews, and that the Israelites had been singing songs of worship to God going all the way back to the OT days I believe that they did.

The book of Psalms, those are all songs, sung to the Lord.

Because the disciples sang with Jesus. Because the earliest accounts of Christian worship says they sang a hymn to Jesus as to a God, prayed read the sacred writings and they were commented on by a leader.

As they began so we carry on.

WHich " the earliest accounts of Christian worship"?

Singing, seems to me, is a natural response from us of the fruit of the Spirit, which is Righteousness, Peace, and Joy. Also, singing can be an form of worshiping our Great God and Savior. Corporate worship can be very special . . .

I guess it depends on what you think is too many minutes?

I recall a lady who sang behind me. She was offkey and I got nauseated often. Too many minutes of that could run everyone off..

 tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in My Father’s kingdom.” 30And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. 31Then Jesus said to them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of Me. For it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’…

I think so;
"Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord"

You're probably like me and can't sing   so, just make noise

"Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises!
