Welcome to La Jolla Pres Online Worship, we're excited that you're joining us! Today is the third Sunday of Advent, Pastor Paul is preaching, and The King's Brass is helping lead worship. This Season we're looking at the Christmas story through the lens of the old testament prophets; The prophets of the Old Testament knew that the Messiah was coming. As they shared God’s word with Israel they spoke of the one who would help people know how to walk in God’s paths. They spoke of a righteous savior who would delight and rejoice in his people and would be the messenger of God’s covenant.
The text is Zephaniah 3:14-20, and the sermon title is The One Who Delights and Rejoices. The nation had been ravaged by conquering armies of foreign nations. Its people scattered, Israel lived in fear and disorientation. To this hurting people, God promises a new world: “The Lord has taken away the judgments against you, he has turned away your enemies. The king of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst; you shall fear disaster no more”. If you would like to connect with our church, you can find our website at ljpres.org.
