Dive into the heart of Christmas with our latest message focusing on "Joy" from Luke 2:8-14. In this season of celebration, we explore the profound joy that the birth of Jesus brings into our lives.
As humans, the concept of joy captivates us, reaching beyond our mental health struggles. It is an inner delight that transcends circumstances, a sustaining state of the soul. Even in the face of difficulties, biblical figures like Paul in prison and Jesus on the cross exemplify the presence of joy.
Why Don’t We Experience Joy?
Issue: Understanding the difference between happiness and joy. While happiness is circumstantial, joy is a sustaining state tied to our relationship with God.
How to Experience the Joy of Jesus:
Starve the Substitutes: Take a break from fleeting happiness shots that leave us disappointed. Joy runs deeper and is found in God.
Seek Jesus: Rediscover the true source of joy. Engage in activities that stir your affections for Christ this season.
Join us in unwrapping the true essence of Christmas—joy that goes beyond circumstances and finds its roots in the transformative love of Jesus.
