The sermon centers on the theological significance of the 'new song' sung in Revelation 5, emphasizing that it refers not to human-composed, uninspired hymns, but to divinely inspired songs that reflect the qualitative renewal of worship through the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Scripture and Reformed confessional standards, it argues that worship must be both inwardly sincere and outwardly regulated by God's Word, rejecting innovations such as uninspired songs as contrary to the regulative principle of worship. The Greek term 'kainos' for 'new' is interpreted not as chronologically new, but as qualitatively renewed—spiritually fresh and supernaturally inspired—pointing to the enduring relevance of the Psalms as God's eternal hymnal. The sermon refutes common objections by showing that all biblical examples of 'new songs' were inspired, and that terms like 'hymns' and 'spiritual songs' in Ephesians 5:19 and Colossians 3:16 refer to the Psalter, not later human compositions. Ultimately, it calls the church to worship with heartfelt devotion, singing the inspired Psalms as the only authorized, spiritually transformative songs that honor God's revealed will.
