Romans 15:13
Restore your Joy

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.
