1. FRESH Life
PS.98:1
Sing to God a brand-new song.
He’s made a world of wonders
He rolled up his sleeves,
He set things right.
He set things right.
- Like a DJ rolling up his sleeve at the turntable. God takes the collection of the same old sad songs of our life and mixes them into a brand new, FRESH song!
- Additional verse: Ps. 40:3

2. FRESH Look
Ps. 98:2-3
God made history with salvation,
He showed the world what he could do.
He showed the world what he could do.
He remembered to love us, a bonus
To his dear family, Israel—indefatigable love.
To his dear family, Israel—indefatigable love.
The whole earth comes to attention.
Look—God’s work of salvation
Look—God’s work of salvation
- Like the FRESH gear your mom buys you the first day of school, God gives us a new FRESH LOOK in our lives through his salvation and our new life in Him.
- Additional verse: Eph. 4:22-24
3. FRESH Loud Love
Ps. 98:4-9
Shout your praises to God, everybody!
Let loose and sing! Strike up the band!
Let loose and sing! Strike up the band!
Round up an orchestra to play for God,
Add on a hundred-voice choir.
Add on a hundred-voice choir.
Feature trumpets and big trombones,
Fill the air with praises to King God.
Fill the air with praises to King God.
Let the sea and its fish give a round of applause,
With everything living on earth joining in.
With everything living on earth joining in.
Let ocean breakers call out, “Encore!”
And mountains harmonize the finale—
And mountains harmonize the finale—
A tribute to God when he comes,
When he comes to set the earth right.
When he comes to set the earth right.
He’ll straighten out the whole world,
He’ll put the world right, and everyone in it.
He’ll put the world right, and everyone in it.
- Like any great FRESH song you LOVE you have to play it LOUD! It is not a party and celebration with quiet music. If you want to get a party started you have to have some FRESH beats played LOUD!
- Additional verse: Luke 19:37-40
* Closing Song: "Our Love is Loud"
Hints & Help
- Beforehand I set up a "DJ" booth in the middle of the room and had a "DJ" play some fun upbeat dance music. Consider using some DJ Promote stuff or someone similar.
- I found some fun DJ background loops online to add the lesson.
- There is also some fun "Fresh" graffiti backgrounds similar the one above to use as stills online as well.

* This was a quick last minute lesson that I taught right after the new year for a Praise and Worship celebration night to kick off the new year. Obviously there was a lot more to the lesson, but I just wanted to give a quick outline to use without writing up whole "script" of the night!? I thought it might be a fun lesson for spring to kick off the season of spring. ENJOY, Use it however you want.
