Worship Preparation - September 28, 2025
Read the sermon text: Colossians 3:12-17
Read the sermon summary: We typically preach through books of the Bible, section by section. For the next few weeks before our next series we will have one-off sermons from various passages. For this Sunday we will consider Paul's instructions to the Colossians about "putting on" the new self. In verses 12-17, Paul exhorts the believers concerning their responsibilities to one another. They should "put on" certain virtues in keeping with the gospel, the most important one being love. Contrary to being enslaved to "earthly" vices, Christ's peace should rule in the hearts and Christ's word should dwell in them richly. These exhortations are at the core of our desire as a church to "Love God's People." As we strive to put these things into practice, we can be certain that Christ will be working in us for his glory and our good.
Read the following song lyrics in relation to the sermon:
Ancient Of Days
Verse 1
Though the nations rage
Kingdoms rise and fall
There is still one King
Reigning over all
So I will not fear
For this truth remains
That my God is the Ancient of Days
Chorus
None above Him none before Him
All of time in His hands
For His throne it shall remain and ever stand
All the power all the glory
I will trust in His name
For my God is the Ancient of days
Verse 2
Though the dread of night
Overwhelms my soul
He is here with me
I am not alone
O His love is sure
And He knows my name
For my God is the Ancient of Days
Verse 3
Though I may not see
What the future brings
I will watch and wait
For the Saviour king
Then my joy complete
Standing face to face
In the presence of the Ancient of Days
Tag
For my God is the Ancient of Days
