In Colossians 3, the church in Colossae is instructed to set their minds on things above, not on earthly things, leave behind whatever belongs to earthly nature…sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed and rid themselves of anger, rage, malice, slander and filthy language, do not lie.
In the spirit of these words, let’s leave all those earthly vices, weaknesses and bad influences at the door so that we can worship the way God would like us to.
In chapter 3, the church in Colossae is told that there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but that Christ is all, and in all.
In the spirit of these words, let’s leave our differences and disagreements at the door so that we can worship the God would like us to.
In chapter 3, the church at Colossae is instructed to be compassionate, kind, humble, gentle and patient…willing to forgive and above all love one another, because love is what binds us together in perfect unity.
In the spirit of these words, let’s show each other and God that we can be that kind of community…with open, loving hearts that are not filled with a bad thought or motive toward another.
In chapter 3, the church in Colossae is instructed to sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs.
In the spirit of these words, let’s do exactly that. Let’s sing songs…think about what you’re singing this morning and focus on making everything you say and do glorify God to the fullest. Leave all earthly things at the door and worship with the love, enthusiasm and gratitude that God deserves. Let us show God how much we love him…let the way you worship this morning reflect how much you are committed to God.
Finally, we are a community. Take time this morning to share and learn from one another. We are God’s people.
