CHRISTMAS

JOY

Psalm 98

Joy to the World!? 

             James 1:2-4    Hebrews 12:1-11             Philippians 1-4

              –  Biblical joy is not a result of where we are in life, but where we are in Christ.

The Source of Joy:

  John 15:11 Galatians 5:16-23 Psalm 16:11     Romans 14:17 & 15:13

–  Joy is a gift not a destination.

  –  Joy doesn’t come when you have everything, but only after you give up everything.

–  Joy comes from a focus, not a feeling.
