The main issue is the message – where does it end and how does it leave people? Are they left pensive and contemplative? Then no song would be better. Are they left stirred to worship or needing a way to express their response? Then a well chosen song may work well. It also depends on the worship leader (i.e. can they be trusted to follow the flow, or will they undermine the message by restating it in different terms that actually change or negate it?) I prefer to look at it each time and decide accordingly, and sometimes change the plan during preaching as I sense the response. What I don’t like is a default “closing song” that seems to allow people to “switch back” into the “real world” and forget what has gone before.

you have raised some questions about singing after a sermon – do you have any answers or personal experience that leads you one way or the other in terms of whether to sing or not to sing?
