I’m humbled that you would include links here to my pulpit ministry. May the Lord make use of these, for His Kingdom, and His worship’s sake. There are a number of sermons not included here on the topic of EP and worship, as the series simply surveyed every use of music in the Bible. There are a total of 25 sermons. The link to them, for those interested, is here:

[…] “In these passages (Ephesians 1:21; 2:2; 5:19; 6:12) we do not claim an ‘identical synonymy’ but a general synonymy with some distinction. The threefold appellation of the Psalter in [Ephesians] 5:19 does not mean ‘Psalms, Psalms, and Psalms’ but three designations of the Psalter, each with a nuanced emphasis. Psalms, the Hebrew word titling the Psalter itself meaning inspired praises; Hymns, the Greek term that still refers to the Psalter but includes the idea of joy and thankfulness; and ‘Spiritual Songs‘ still referring to the Psalter but emphasizing the Spirituality–the ‘drilling down into the heart’ of the inspired Psalter, because of its Divine Author. That each of these terms are used in the Greek titles of the Psalter underscores this synonymy, and these distinctions.” (Rev. Todd Ruddell) […]

[…] “Ezekben a szakaszokban (Efézus 1:21; 2:2; 5:19; 6:12) nem “azonos szinonímát”, hanem általános szinonímát tételezhetünk fel némi különbségtétellel. A zsoltár hármas megnevezése az [Efézus] 5:19-ben nem ‘zsoltárokat, zsoltárokat és zsoltárokat’ jelent, hanem a zsoltár három megjelölését, mindegyiket árnyalt hangsúllyal. Zsoltárok, a héber szó, amely magát a Zsoltárokat [Bibliai könyvet] titulálja és ihletett dicséreteket jelent; Himnuszok, a görög kifejezés, amely még mindig a Zsoltárokra utal, de magában foglalja az öröm és a hála gondolatát; és ‘Lelki Énekek’, amely még mindig a Zsoltárokra utal, de hangsúlyozza a lelkiséget – az ihletett Zsoltár ‘szívünkbe fúródását’, annak isteni szerzője miatt. Az, hogy e kifejezések mindegyike szerepel a Zsoltárok könyve görög címeiben, aláhúzza ezt a szinonimitást és ezen megkülönböztetéseket”. (Rev. Todd Ruddell) […]
