"Joy To The World" is one of many familiar Christmas carols that is sung this time of year. But, have you ever stopped to think about what the words are saying? "Joy to the world, the Lord is come. Let earth receive her king!" What does it really mean to have joy? Is joy a feeling? Is joy conditional? What if I don't feel joyful? Jesus said, "These things I have told you, that MY joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full" (John 15:11). Jesus wants us to have a life full of joy that transcends a feeling, but we need to guard against things that will steal our joy. This week, we discuss "joy-stealers" like anxiety, resentment and confusion. Pastor Steve said, "Our joy is in Jesus, not activity." Join us this week as we learn how to find our joy in Jesus.
