December 12, 2021 -- The Third Sunday of Advent

Pastor Caleb Rothfuss

Zephaniah 3:14-17

The prophet Zephaniah urges us to rejoice. Not only had the Lord taken away our punishment, but he will defeat all the enemies of God’s people.

14 Sing, Daughter Zion; shout aloud, Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, Daughter Jerusalem! 15 The Lord has taken away your punishment,

he has turned back your enemy. The Lord, the King of Israel, is with you;

never again will you fear any harm. 16 On that day they will say to Jerusalem,

“Do not fear, Zion; do not let your hands hang limp. 17 The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”
