日期 Date 12/12/2021

The Love We Have Zephaniah 3:14-20

Discussion questions for Advent 3:

1. Why would God discipline His people severely on the one hand and lift his judgments against them on the other? See Hebrews 12:5 – 11

2. What does Zephaniah have in mind when he writes, “he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.” How do we bring God pleasure, especially in this season of Advent?

3. What parallels do you see in Zephaniah’s message and the coming of Christ at the first Christmas? How should we act on these observations?
