We experience God's presence in a uniquely special way in Word and Sacrament when the church gathers together. As we seek his face, we are reminded of the day when God will dwell with his people fully. We are filled with joy, and we turn and worship God with joyful hearts.

Discussion Questions

- Is there a fact you learned, question you had, or truth you were reminded of during today’s sermon?
- How does God dwell with his people today? How does this change our actions from week to week?
- In your own life, how is joy different from happiness?
- As we seek to Make Disciples, is there someone you can invite into the presence of God to Joyfully Worship with you?
