Have you ever wondered about all the different times that "rejoice" is used in the Bible? In my ESV Bible the word is used 235 different times. It is especially noticeable in Paul's letter to the Philippians, which we are studying now. However, as you can see if you look throughout Scripture, it is a theme used often. Today we are talking about the use of "Rejoice" in our worship. Have you ever noticed how difficult it is to remain anger and bitter against someone else when you are both fully rejoicing in the Lord? It is our first defense against long-term disagreements.
