Advent, Week 4: Joy – Resilient Joy: The Lord is Near.
As we are nearing the end of Advent, we look forward to the “good news of great joy for all people” that the angels proclaimed in Luke 2. But joy is sometimes elusive, and it can ebb and flow with the ups and downs of life. This week we will look at Phillipians 4 and at Paul’s instruction to believers to “rejoice in the Lord always”. Is that even possible?!?. We will see Paul’s basis for a resilient joy throughout the seasons of life: “The Lord is near”
