“Joy”

Big Idea: Living Advent finds joy in Jesus’ presence today and hope for tomorrow.

Joy is found in embracing the living Jesus. 

Embracing Jesus results in joy-filled worship.

“Joy-filled worship” — our response to God with gratitude and delight, 

empowered by the Holy Spirit and rooted in the gospel.

Joy-filled worship is an everyday expression of living with Jesus.
