The Joy of Salvation
Brothers and sisters, rejoice! We are freely justified! We have been reconciled with the God whom we have sinned against; we have been saved from the wrath we deserve! What's not to rejoice over? How could we possibly remain glum in the face of such lavish mercy, grace and love poured out on our behalf? Even in the midst of suffering and trials, our hope is firmly fixed on Him. We therefore choose to rejoice and in return he fills our hearts with overflowing gladness to the praise of His glory. Do not allow your emotions, the Devil's lies, or the pressures of this world steal your God given joy! Rejoice!
Singing Stars – Shouts of Joy
Out of the whirlwind the Lord answered Job: "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?" Reality check! God is God and we are not!
Out of the depths of our sorrows and struggles we need to be reminded of the absolute grandeur, majesty and power of the God who made heaven and earth, the stars and all the planets, and who loves the very least among us with an everlasting love.
Joy for the Battle
A great horde of enemies, a desperate situation and a bizarre strategy with the choir leading the army into battle -- followed by an amazing deliverance by the Lord! God was trying to make a point with King Jehoshaphat. What's the point? And is there any application to the battles I fight every day with fear, anxiety, lust, greed, and pride?
Count it all Joy
True joy does not arise out of our circumstances, but is rather the fruit of a deep abiding trust in God. It can be tried and tested by the pain and hardships of this world, but is only refined and perfected by the working of God's good purpose for us in Christ.
Joy in the Word
That old book - the Bible? Joyful? Old stories about old people doing things in ancient foreign cultures - how can you find that joyful? What am I missing? How can anybody today expect to find JOY in a book that old? PS. It's not about the book!
What is the source of your Joy?
Acts 16:16-40
What is the difference between "That makes me happy," and "That gives me joy?" While our culture tells us about the right we have to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," in Christ we find something far deeper, life-changing and everlasting. The Bible calls it joy. Shallow entertainment and superficial happiness are no substitute for joyous living in Christ.
