Hook: What was the best day of your life?

I. SIGN
"The (things) in which we thought the beauty was located will betray us if we trust in them; it was not in them, it only came through them, and what came through them was longing. These things are good images of what we really desire; but if they are mistaken for the thing itself they turn into dumb idols, breaking the hearts of their worshipers. For they are not the thing itself; they are only the scent of a flower we have not found, the echo of a tune we have not heard, news from a country we have never yet visited.” - C.S. Lewis

II. GLORY
“We must have God or we are of all men most miserable.” - Charles Spurgeon

III. FAITH
"You don’t go to God because He’s useful, you go because He’s beautiful. And nothing is more useful than finding God beautiful." - Tim Keller

Take-away: Make great rejoicing!
