The Joy of Kingdom Citizens- Philippians 4:4

It is God's will for His people to be filled with joy and His reign in His people brings great joy into their lives, which is also a testimony to the world that God is enough to satisfy the human heart. In this sermon Pastor Keith explained how joy is a requirement for God's people and yet it is result of God's work in their lives. Joy is a commanded by God (Philippians 4:4, Matt. 5:12) yet it is produced by God's Spirit (Galatians 5:22). Joy is a manifestation of the Kingdom of God reigning in His people. The last portion of this sermon did not get recorded. In that part of the sermon Pastor shared how joy is also something that Christians must fight for in their lives.
