Joy | Joy To The World | Pastor Mark Stermer

What if the joy you’ve been searching for isn’t found in circumstances—but in discovering the purpose God had for you before you were even born? ABOUT THE MESSAGEIn Part 3 of the Joy series, Pastor Mark Stermer reminds us that Joy often comes through pain, purpose, and promise. Just as the anguish of childbirth gives way to overwhelming joy, God brought great joy to all people through the birth of Jesus Christ. This message traces the joy announced by angels, fulfilled in Christ, and mirrored in our own lives as we discover that every person is born with divine purpose. Before you were formed, God knew you; before you lived a day, He designed you for His glory. In a world that pressures us to be someone else, we’re reminded to be who God uniquely created us to be—living for Him, not ourselves. Come be refreshed by the joy that comes from knowing you were born on purpose, for a purpose! ABOUT JESUSIf you want to learn more about who Jesus is and what it means to have a relationship with Him, we would love to help you on that journey: https://www.thechurch.fm/jesus For a deeper dive into The Word of God on a daily basis check out our Free Ancient Paths Daily Devotional: https://www.thechurch.fm/ancient-paths WHO WE AREWe believe that the goal of every Christian is To Be Conformed Into the Image of Jesus Christ, and a relationship with Jesus as well as being involved in a healthy church community are both important to achieving that goal.
