Advent: God's Joy

A message during this Advent season on the source of our Joy, which is Christ Jesus. Scripture: Luke 2:10-11 Application Questions: 1.) As a follower of Jesus, would others around you consider you as someone that expresses joy? 2.) What or who are you relying on to keep you joyful apart from God? 3.) Are you a person that recognizes God's joy is with you but you don’t often find yourself expressing it? 4.) What is holding you back? (Etiquette, social codes, vulnerability as weakness, lies of judgment, expressions as a child were squashed, standard in our culture to always complain, always tired, always busy, etc.)
