Good Morning Spring City Fellowship!

Series Title: 2024 Advent
Sermon Title: Restore your Joy
Text: Romans 15:13

Our theme for 2024 is “Possessing the Land.” We began the year by saying that we want to take hold of purpose and be intentional. Now we are at advent, looking toward the coming of Christ.
I wanted to remind us again of our overall vision - the four R’s At the same time, we consider Christ’s coming in terms of the advent themes of Hope, Joy, Peace and Love. So, let’s combine those thoughts. Let’s remind ourselves of who we are called to be as we remind ourselves of who Jesus is and why He came. This is an active “taking hold of” advent.

God fills us with joy so that our hope increases. What if you don’t have joy? You might be tempted to think that you have to have it all together first and then you will experience joy. But just the opposite is true- joy comes first and increases our hope. True joy is rooted in our relationship with God and his constant presence which brings hope and renewal. We are going to take a look at some mentions of joy in the Christmas story and discuss how this kind of joy restores us back to God as the source of joy.
