“Joy and the Fruit-Full Christian Life”

Everyone seeks joy, but there is a great difference in the places where people seek that joy. In the Bible, God shows us the only sufficient source for our joy in God Himself. Yet, the fallen human heart seeks joy almost everywhere else, refusing the offer of God Himself. Outside of a reconciled relationship with God, joy will be elusive as we struggle with discontent, ingratitude, and insecurity. But through a relationship with Christ, joy becomes more than a possibility, but a fruit that God grows in our lives.
