Worshipping transforms our ordinary Actions (Colossians 3:12-17)
Paul Davies, 29 April 2018
Part of the Whole Life Worship series, Sunday Morning service
As has been said a few times in this sermon series, worship is more than just singing. Our passage today would agree but also add the reason why we sing: to teach and encourage one another to a true, loving fellowship in Christ. Worship to spur us on to love. This is the horizontal aspect to worship rather than the vertical: directed towards each other rather than only towards God.

Colossians 3:12–17 (Listen)
12 Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
