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.

  1. God has taken away the judgments against us (v. 15)
  2. The King is in our midst (v. 15)
  3. God rejoices over us (v. 17)

    4. Sermon Application

    Discussion Questions:

    1. 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?
    2. What is one way you have experienced the presence of God in your midst? How did it impact you?
    3. Why is Zephaniah 3:17 called the John 3:16 of the Old Testament? Compare the two passages.
    4. How does Luke 15:10 and Zeph 3:17 help us better understand how God feels about us?
