Making The Choice To Rejoice Series

Contributed by Jason Grubbs on Jan 11, 2020

Rejoicing in the Lord is a choice we must make, not a feeling. Our joy must be in the Lord, not in our circumstances. This sermon gives three actions we must make to keep making the choice to rejoice.

Intro Philippians 4:4 is one of the simplest verses in the Bible to understand, but it is one of the hardest to practice. It makes for great preaching and difficult practicing. To “rejoice in the Lord always ” does not mean we should never feel depressed or sad. Jesus felt sadness at the grave ...read more

But only a week later, on average, we’ve already abandoned one-quarter of those resolutions and by the middle of the year, less than one-half are maintained.
