    lighting. Both Lee Fellowship Hall and Sanctuary hazers are
    water-based and safe.

    NOTES
    Traditional Worship
    Sometimes we may be tempted to think that since our God
    is the creator of the universe–of all that is, was, or ever
    will be; the One who made all things, seen and unseen;
    the inventor of thought, beauty, truth, goodness, justice;
    the God who is everywhere in the known and unknown
    worlds–He would never have time for you and for me,
    let alone be present in our worship this morning, but
    it’s true! More than that, our great God has feelings and
    emotions. Since we are made in His image and we have
    feelings and emotions, it’s only logical He is the source.
    In the little book of Zephaniah the prophet, we read this
    wonderful verse about God. He rejoices, He sings (!) over
    His children, over us! Can you image that?! God sings!
    (He invented music and singing too!) We can bring joy to
    our magnificent Creator. Hearing thunder, I can hardly
    imagine the power of His singing. Someday we’ll perhaps
    hear it. In the meantime, let’s give Him reason to sing
    for joy. The anthem this morning is a setting of this very
    passage in Zephaniah, (also something Retha Underwood
    requested for her memorial service.) It captures the joy!
    Let the choir’s voices and joy be your own as together we
    offer our praise to God through our great high priest, Jesus
    our Lord. Our opening hymn sings of the Ascension of the
    Lord on this Ascension Sunday. This past Thursday was
    forty days since Easter Sunday and marked the end of the
    time Christ dwelt on earth following His resurrection. He
    is coming back! -Dr. Dan Sharp

    YEAR OF THE BOOK!


    THIS WEEK'S DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
    1. Have you ever been so elated, so overcome with
    joy, that you could not contain it? How did you
    celebrate? What did others think?
    2. What are the reasons for Zephaniah’s joyous
    singing? Specifically, what will God do that prompts
    the singing? Give as many reasons as you can find
    in the passage.
    3. For what reason will God rejoice over the people
    with singing?
    4. Why do you think singing is such an integral part
    of worship? Do you get emotional when you sing
    in worship? Why or why not? Can you remember
    a specific time when you were emotional? Please
    share.
    5. What does it mean for the people of God to
    be brought “home?" (see v. 20) What does this
    homecoming result in? (v. 9, 11-12, 13, 17)
    6. If all Christians lived as joyfully as Zephaniah
    appears to be here (as he breaks out in song), what
    kind of witness might that offer to the people we
    encounter in our day-to-day living?
    7. Why do you think some Christians don’t appear to live
    joyfully? How might reflecting on all that God has done
    for His people help you to feel more joyful?
    *This week's Year of the Book reading:
    Isaiah 45-66
