Joy to the World

Join Pastor Brandon Scroggins of Reformation Baptist Church as we take a break from Jonah and dive into Psalm 98, which inspired Isaac Watts' hymn, "Joy to the World." This Christmas-focused sermon celebrates the incarnation of Christ while anticipating His glorious second coming. Learn how this psalm calls us to worship the Savior for His salvation, celebrate the King, and sing to the Judge in anticipation of His perfect rule.

This message also reflects on the rich theology of Christmas, highlighting the victory of Christ over sin, His role as the fulfillment of God's promises, and the hope of His eternal reign. Let’s rejoice in the wonders of His love and the truth of His gospel!

Sermon Text: Psalm 98

In Psalm 98, we:

1.) Sing to the Savior for His Salvation (vv. 1-3)

2.) Sing to the King with Celebration (vv. 4-6)

3.) Sing to the Judge in Anticipation (vv. 7-9)
