Pastor Blaine continues our We Gather Mini-Series about the WHY behind the WAY we gather as a church. In this sermon, he breaks down how SINGING the Word of God is a uniquely powerful tool for getting the Word of God deeply in our hearts. Colossians 3:12-17 Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, 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. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. 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. 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. Sermon Notes: Main Point: Singing together uniquely presses the Word of Christ into our hearts. I. Word-dwelt hearts result in righteous lives. II. Word-dwelt hearts result from singing churches.
