Colossians 3 verse 16

Let the message about the Messiah dwell richly among you, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, and singing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, with gratitude in your heart to God.

Just as John 3 verse 16 is the core of the Gospel.

Colossians 3 verse 16 provides the core of worship

KEY WORDS

Richly – means “abundantly” in great measure in large amounts

Teaching – Share your stories of faith, experiences are far better teaching methods than quoting scriptures and not know the ramifications.

Admonishing – To advise or warn in a firm but gentle manner, to help those who are struggling in their faith.

Singing – we are to sing out God’s words in psalm, hymns and spiritual songs. Psalms are bible based praises  (especially the book of Psalms)

Hymns are rich and sturdy songs that stand the test of time. (eg How Great Thou Art)

Spiritual songs are lighter, livelier expressions of our faith and worship (we can also sing in the Spirit as the The Holy Spirit guides)

Gratitude – Always being grateful for the wonderful thins Our Lord and Friend has done for us. Let The Holy Spirit Guide you in everything and Be Thankful

God Bless
