1. REJOICE! God the Savior (v.1-3)

a. God’s Victory in Bringing Salvation

What did the resurrection prove?

God’s victory over death! and Satan!

What does that tell Satan?

Who is this Salvation for?

ALL people! ()

Compare the beginning of this Psalm with the Song of Mary

What does the Psalmist mean by a “new song”

Is this limited to just when a new one is written?

Whenever God does something new in your life, sing Him a new song!

What are some examples of this?

b. What was required in Salvation?

God’s Right Arm and Hand!

Why should this force us to sing?

2. REJOICE! God the King (v.4-6)

a. What is the scene like here as described by the Psalmist?

b. Where is the praise directed?

c. Why does the Psalmist emphasize multiple times to praise Christ as KING?

How does God being Kin change the way we approach His presence?

d. Argumentation

Psalm 96

3. REJOICE! God the Judge (v.7-9)

a. Who is singing in these verses?

Nature!

Nature awaits for the day where it is restored once again!

Right now, it is groaning!

b. We have reason to sing because He is coming back at JUDGE!

how come this causes us to sing and not be scared?!

Conclusion

You are either going to rejoice greatly when the King comes back or you will REGRET greatly when He comes

Those of us who have placed our faith in Him should have a reason to REJOICE TODAY!

JOY TO THE WORLD!

You know what other song comes to my mind though?

Good news for ALL PEOPLE......GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN!
