We continue our Advent preaching series looking at Joy from Isaiah 9:1-7. What we see in Isaiah is the experience of joy is like coming out of gloom to the glory of God, it is a walking out of darkness into the light, moving from anguish to joy! Joy is a settled and sure happiness arising from God’s presence in our lives and a surety in the good works he is doing in our lives and in the world. Furthermore, God takes joy in the task of saving us! Part of the wonder of Christ’s birth is that it brings the possibility of real joy into our lives and our world. Let's celebrate with joy what God is doing through Jesus!

From Series: "2024 - Whispers of His Coming"

Join us over the next four weeks as we prepare our hearts to celebrate the advent of Christ this Christmas season. We will follow the traditional ordering of advent focusing on Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love as we consider 'Whispers of His Coming' from corresponding passages in the Old Testament. Christmas is about celebrating the birth of Christ, and it is our hope this series will help you celebrate Christ and his coming into the world the first time as we look forward to his return.
