Isaiah 35 - Trade Your Sorrows For JOY | Dave Miers

Series: HE KNOWS YOUR NEED - Advent SeriesDate: 14 December 2025Preacher: Rev Dave Miers--Christmas is supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year —but for many of us, it's one of the hardest — grief, disappointment, loneliness, exhaustion. We try to manufacture joy, but deep down we know it's just survival.What if joy isn't something you create, but something God restores?In Isaiah 35, God promises to transform our deserts, restore what's broken, and bring us home with everlasting joy. This isn't superficial happiness or forced cheerfulness — it's the settled gladness that comes when God reverses the curse, heals our wounds, and drives sorrow away forever.Discover what Jesus does with your sorrow this Advent.--Our dream is to be a city of refuge within the city of Brisbane, where many people have found refuge, security, and hope in Christ.Find out more about our church: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.christrefuge.co⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email [email protected]
