It Looks Like Joy, But I’m Not OK | Christmas Behind the Curtain | Week 1

from Grace Church Sermons · host Grace Church

Big Idea: Invite the light of Christ to your emotions this Christmas  Runaway emotions  Insecurity  Guilt  Anger  Sadness.   Isaiah 9:1-7  Four Titles that Bring True Joy 1. Wonderful Counselor  Make an appointment with the wonderful counselor to identify your runaway emotions this Christmas.   2. Mighty God   Find time to immerse yourself in the mightiness of God this Christmas.   3. Everlasting Father   Stay connected to Jesus and to your spiritual family this Christmas.   4. Prince of Peace   Be a broker of peace in your relationships this Christmas?    Practicing Solitude Get still. As distraction-free as possible – put everything away including your phone.  Do 10 deep cleansing breaths – with each inhale pray silently “Christ shine your light.” Your mind might run wild but spend the first few moments resting in God’s love. In light of our discussion today about true joy and runaway emotions Read Psalm 139:23-24 multiple times. Read until certain words or phrases feel like they’re being ‘highlighted’ for you.  Ask God what he might be saying to you.  Pray those impressions back to God.
