Joy | Advent Week 4

JoyAdvent • December 18, 2022Teacher: Adam Barnett--Joy is the deep settled conviction that God is for us. Luke 2:6-11 NIVWhile they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them. And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. Hebrews 12:2 NIVFor the joy set before him, he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. John 16:22 NIV“… no one will take away your joy.”
