Today's Good News

04/30           Colossians 3:16

“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.”

Key Points:

  1. God’s Word Must Fill Our Lives – Growth happens when we immerse ourselves in Scripture (Psalm 119:11).
  2. Teaching and Encouraging Others is Essential – Growth is not just personal; it’s communal (Hebrews 10:24-25).
  3. Worship is a Response to Spiritual Growth – A heart filled with the Word overflows in praise (Ephesians 5:19).
  4. Gratitude Strengthens Our Faith – A thankful heart keeps us anchored in Christ (Philippians 4:6-7).

LET THE WORD


Your words are more than passing breath,
They fill the soul, they shape the mind,
They lead my feet, they light the path,
A truth that never fades.


Let wisdom grow, let voices rise,
Let hearts be taught in love,
Not for knowledge, not for gain,
But to walk as You have called.


Songs of mercy, songs of grace,
A melody of truth and life,
For every voice, for every heart,
A song of who You are.


In gratitude, my soul remains,
In worship, let my life be known,
Not in silence, not in fear,
But in the fullness of Your word.


Let Your word dwell deep inside,
Let it shape my heart and mind,
With wisdom, truth, and songs of joy,
I will walk in all You are.
