‘Advent’ Week 3– Joy
Jason Gore — Lead Pastor
___________________
We can have joy in spite of our ever-changing circumstances.
Luke 2:8-11 (ESV)
– We find joy in the promises and faithfulness of Jesus.
Proverbs 17:22 (ESV)
Repetitive complaining will attract you to things for you to complain about. Repeated gratitude will attract thing for you to be thankful about.
Luke 2:12-16 (ESV)
– We find joy in the presence of Jesus.
Luke 2:17-18 (ESV)
– We find joy in sharing the hope of Jesus.
Our identity as a church is to live as a family who loves God, follows Jesus, and shares hope.
The road map to joy is found:
– In the promises and faithfulness of Jesus.
– In the presence of Jesus.
– In sharing the hope we have in Jesus.
Joy is not based in ever-changing circumstances, but the unchanging promises of God.
