However, when I think about the church and our sometimes obsession with yesterday and church life past instead of what God is doing today, I tend to worry. I must admit that there are many times I listen to Yesterday and replace the words with the Chick-fil-a Song by Tim Hawkins. The lyric, “Get back to where you once belonged,” immediately made think of Luke 15 and the Parable of the Prodigal (or Lost) Son. I would not use this Beatles song to discuss traditions or celebrate yesterday’s church (that is in the song below). I would start asking questions like, “what is the importance of love that we should have for each other?” and “what happens when we do not see that love in ourselves or someone else?” Get Back (1969) While I would use this title to talk about God’s love for us ultimately, I would probably begin in 1 John.
How did I get to that conclusion? You have to remember the lyric for this song, “She’s got a ticket to ride, but she don’t care.” So, do we care about how we are continuing to grow in Christ? Or have we become content with salvation and avoiding hell. Ticket to Ride would be a Beatles song that would focus on Progressive Sanctification. A suggestion would be Matthew 25:40-45Īnother possible consideration could be Matthew 14 with Peter walking on water toward Jesus and about how Jesus hears our cry for help. While there are many ways to take and seek help, I would tend to think more about helping our fellow church family or our community. For all the things he could have bought, love was not one of them. He betrayed Jesus for the price of a slave. My first thought with this title was about Judas being paid the thirty pieces of silver for Christ. With this song title, you can almost hear Jesus say to the church, “come together, right now, over me.” Romans 12 would be a great place to start. The most challenging aspect was narrowing the list to only ten songs to resemble others in the series. This writing focuses on The Beatles song titles and a little insight into sermons or the subject matter they could cover.Īs a note: These titles are not done in any particular order.

The original beginning of series of “songs that should be sermon titles” began with 10 Rock Songs (and you really should click on the link to see what started all of this). Initially, they called themselves Johnny and the Moondogs, and the Silver Beatles…luckily neither of those names stuck.) (Also known as the original Fab Four, and Beatlemania. When writing a series about songs that should be sermon titles, it is incredibly difficult to ignore the invasion from across the pond with John, Paul, George, and Ringo, also known as The Beatles.
