Simple Joy

Dec 17, 2017    Matt Santen

In this message from Simple Christmas, we explore what it means to have lasting joy—not just seasonal cheer, but deep, enduring joy rooted in something greater than our circumstances. Luke 2:10-11 reminds us that true joy begins with the good news that Jesus came as our Savior. Throughout the Christmas story, we see that joy is found in the journey, in God’s blessings, in closeness to Jesus, in serving others, in celebrating with others, and ultimately in salvation through Christ. Unlike happiness, which comes and goes, biblical joy is sustainable and rooted in God’s presence and purpose.
