The Joy of the Lord

Jesus is a joyful King, and we find in his High Priestly Prayer that he desires that his people would be filled with his joy too. We all have a myriad of burdens and things in life that cause us stress and worry. But what does it look like to have deep abiding joy in all circumstances? Today we’ll explore that and more. Our Scripture for today comes from John 17:13 , and today's worship is You Are My Joy by United Pursuit. This Christmas, find the peace God has waiting for you.
