Philippians 4:4; Psalm 32:11, 47:1, 66:1, 98:4, 100:1; Matthew 5:11-12, 2:10-11; Habakkuk 3:17-18; 2 Samuel 6:16-23; Nehemiah 8:9-12 — The biblical concept of joy is not dependent on circumstances but rather deeply rooted in God’s grace. Appearing hundreds of times throughout scripture, rejoicing in the Lord is essential to guard our hearts, strengthen and mark us as God’s people, and lead us to respond rightly to Christ.

Job 1:13-21, 35:9; John 16:33; 2 Corinthians 1:3; Romans 5:3; James 1:2; Acts 16:24-31; 2 Samuel 24:24; Psalm 42:5-6, 102:3; Hebrews 13:15; Daniel 3:16-18; Matthew 26:30 — As believers, we live in the constant tension between Christ’s victory and freedom, and the earthly reality of brokenness and pain. Scripture reveals the significance of the songs we bring to God in the depths of these ‘night’ seasons; the sacrifice of praise that is costly but of supreme value to Him.

Revelation 4:1-5:14; John 4:23-24; Genesis 12:1-8 — In Revelation we see a picture of unceasing worship of the One seated on heaven’s throne. What could our earthly worship possibly add to this picture of perfection? As we explore this question over the coming series, let us consider Abraham. In and out of season, Genesis records him building an altar to the Lord. These were intentional acts of worshipful devotion; establishing places of encounter, remembrance, and surrender.
