Zephaniah: Jesus is the Lover of our Souls
Andrew Allison · Listen
Sermon Questions Zephaniah 3:8-17
1. What’s the worst grief you put your parents through?
2. How are you at accepting correction?
3. God’s ‘jealous anger’ and ‘pouring out His wrath’ aren’t exactly heart warming realities, especially as we share our hope with those who don’t believe. Is there an upside to this piece of God? Is there actually a strong, hopeful message in that?
4. Do you believe that our Lord has chosen to take delight in you? Why or why not and if so, what does that look like in your life?
5. Describe what comes to mind when you hear “rejoice over you with singing”. Figure out how you’re going to take that into your day.

1 Samuel 17:32-Join as we begin a 4-week series exploring the Vision of St. Paul’s through the life of David. Discover four essential practices Jesus has called His church to for 2,000 years: Gather, Grow, Give, and Go. This week, we begin with Gather—why gathering together matters and what it means to be the church.
Colossians 4:2-9 - Prayer isn’t meant to be an afterthought—it’s an invitation to stay connected to God. Paul’s final words challenge us to pray with purpose, keep our eyes open for what God is doing, and look for opportunities to share Jesus. A great way to wrap up a letter—and launch us into the world God loves.
Colossians 3:18-4:1 -Paul closes his letter by showing how following Jesus transforms our everyday relationships—with spouses, children, parents, employees, and employers—and calls us to care for one another with kindness.
Colossians 3:12-17-Sometimes Christianity gets known for what we don’t do. But Paul points us toward something better: how we live, love, and treat one another. What marks a genuine Christian community? It all starts with who God is and how deeply He loves us.
Colossians 3:5-11-Paul points to two areas that reveal who we are at the deepest level: sex and speech. The path to health and freedom isn’t harsh rules or self-focus, but staying close to Jesus, knowing him and growing in him. Christianity isn’t harsh rules; it’s a vibrant friendship.
Colossians 2:20-3:4 - Religious baggage can pull us in all kinds of directions—from expecting God to fit our preferences to trying to earn His approval. Paul’s message to the Colossians was simple: stop guessing what God wants and get back to the core of Christianity—Jesus.
