I have been interested in the Hebraic roots of our Christian faith since about 1997. Since that time I have had a chance to attend a couple of Messianic Congregations. Christians with a focus on Jewish roots. One of my favorite teachers among Messianic Rabbis is Monte Judah of Lion And Lamb Ministries. My first exposure to a totally different style of worship songs and worship was at a Messianic Fellowship in Jacksonville, Florida, called Beth Israel. There I discovered a Messianic recording artist by the name of Ted Pearce. I have heard a lot of Messianic worship music but I don’t know the names of the artist.
Messianic music in my opinion has a lot more of the Word of God with in it. Many of the songs are pure scripture from the Psalms and other books from the bible. Along with messianic music in this type of congregation comes Messianic dance. It is an awesome thing to see people, God people, wearing themselves out worshiping God through dance. What a blessing to see and participate.
Recommendations
Paul Wilbur Ministries
With that said, the first of the Messianic recording artist that I know of thus far that I recommend is, Paul Wilbur. I confess I don’t know all of his music. However, I just bought and am currently listening to “The Watchman” album. A lot of the songs from this album are played during praise and worship at my church, Hineni Messianic Fellowship. Like I said, I don’t know many of the artist by name. So, I didn’t realize how many of the songs on this album I already know. Paul Wilbur has a very strong baritone to tenor voice. He incorporates a lot of percussion, wind instruments, and stringed instruments in his music. His music is firmly centered on God and His Word. Every song give glory to the Lord and King of the universe. I wish I could put a clip of one of the songs here for you to hear, but, you can find this album on iTunes, and, another site called MessianicMusic.com
