       On Sunday mornings, we gather together as members of Christ’s body to worship God and to hear a word from God, a message delivered by one of God’s teachers. Now, Paul doesn’t necessarily mention sermons here, but talks about addressing one another in psalms. Sometimes the worship leader will do this, or sometimes there is a Scripture reading that does not pertain to the sermon—an additional one for encouragement. But, Paul says that Spirit-filled individuals will do these things, which in effect will keep harmony among God’s people. And on top of this, we give thanks to God for everything good he has done in our lives, and this in the name of Jesus. Finally, we submit to one another, or accept and respect each other, as Christ has accepted and respects each of us as genuine, born-again believers. And we do this because we love Jesus, even though there may be individuals we do not personally care for, those of whom it is harder for us to get along with.
