Sermon Notes
Through the prophet Zephaniah, God commands his people to sing, shout, and rejoice (Zeph 3:14). But why? What if things are hard? What if we feel we lack reasons to rejoice? Thankfully, God graciously reminds us of three reasons we
always
have to rejoice; three things that are true regardless of what's happening in us or around us.
- God has taken away the judgments against us (v. 15)
- The King is in our midst (v. 15)
- God rejoices over us (v. 17)
Sermon Application
Discussion Questions:
- Is God's judgment a concern for you? How does a sober recognition of the severity of God's judgment enable us to embrace an even greater rejoicing?
- What is one way you have experienced the presence of God in your midst? How did it impact you?
- Why is Zephaniah 3:17 called the John 3:16 of the Old Testament? Compare the two passages.
- How does Luke 15:10 and Zeph 3:17 help us better understand how God feels about us?
