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.
Colossians 3:16-17

There’s a lot in these verses. I could see a pastor spending a month of sermons on this passage.
1. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly – Remember what Jesus did and said.
2. Teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom – Encourage and exhort fellow Christians
3. Singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs – Worship your Heavenly Father
4. All with thankfulness in your hearts to God. – Act out your gratefulness to Him
And whatever you do … that’s everything. That’s quite a challenge. Do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus.
If you’re doing something that you can’t do in the name of the Lord Jesus, you shouldn’t be doing it.
