     | 7,741 views

    Starting from the angels promise of "good news of great joy," this sermon asks why Christians often don't see "great joy" in their lives.

    WHERE IS IT? The angel promised that this was good news of great joy. - Luke 2:10. - This passage has been repeated frequently enough during Christmastime that sometimes lose sight of its truth and just treat it as a cliché. The angel meant what he said: this was a message of good news of great ...read more

    Following Jesus: Following Joy John 15:9-14 Introduction Some people believe that Joy is in short supply in our world. That’s not hard to believe, given the events of the past few months and the pandemic we are enduring day by day. The anger and unrest that rumbles beneath the surface, and ...read more

    Contributed by Christian Jones on Jun 4, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,678 views

    Today, I invite you to journey with me to the ancient wells of Scripture, where we will explore the theme of thirsty hearts and the fulfillment we can find at the well. Just as physical thirst drives us to seek water, our souls also long for something to quench their thirst.

    Sermon Points: The Thirst of the Soul Scripture Reference: Psalm 42:1-2 (KJV) "As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?" Explanation: Our souls possess an ...read more

     | 9,073 views

    This sermon was preached on Gaudete (Joy) Sunday (3rd sunday in Advent). I wasn’t feeling very joy-filled, though I felt called to preach on joy (and used that hesitancy as part of the sermon focus). It’s my best "grumpy sermon on joy" ever.

    It’s been a rough couple weeks for me. My wallet was stolen last Wednesday. My step-grandfather died – two days ago. I woke up feeling sick and lost my voice - yesterday. Almost got stuck in the snow last night. Had to park around the corner and traipse home in the deep snow with the wind whipping ...read more
