What is true joy and where does it come from?

In this Advent message, we walk through the entire letter to the Ephesians and discover that joy is not seasonal or circumstantial. Joy is rooted in who we are in Christ and in what God has already accomplished through Jesus.

From God’s eternal plan of salvation to our new identity as one body made up of Jews and Gentiles, to the Spirit who seals, strengthens, and unites us, Paul shows us that joy flows from being chosen, redeemed, and filled with the fullness of God. This sermon traces the movement of Ephesians from gospel truth to gospel-shaped living, reminding us that joy grows as Christ builds His church and fills His people with His love.

As we prepare our hearts for Christmas, we are invited to rejoice, not in temporary things, but in the unending riches of God’s grace in Christ Jesus.

We invite you to listen, reflect, and rejoice in the joy that never runs dry because it is anchored in Christ alone.
