Overflow Series Part 2: Full of Joy

Last week, we began a series called Overflow, which stems from one word the Lord spoke to Pastor John in December: full. Jesus said the enemy only comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but He came to bring us a full and abundant life. Jesus also said that what fills you up on the inside will make its way to the surface for all to see. From the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks, and from the root of the tree, the fruit is produced. The overflow of our lives — the things we say and do — is directly connected to what fills us. In the time of the year when people do some self-reflection and are most likely to try to make changes in their lives, the goal is to not focus too much on the outside stuff. What you see is not the problem; it’s the symptom. If you want the overflow of your life to look different, you’re going to have to see what fills your soul. We started off talking about being full of love; this week’s message is Full of Joy.
