  2. What bring us joy? Things Investments Awards Finances What we accumulate

  3. Joy is connected with relationships Our relationship with God in Christ Our relationship with God’s people

  4. Philippians 4 4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

  5. Nehemiah 7:73 – 8:11 10 Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is sacred to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

  6. Joy is also paradoxical We have joy because of Christ We have joy because we are surrounded by God’s people But that joy is not validated by the present but by our knowledge that God is with us

  7. Acts 16 22 The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered them to be stripped and beaten. 23 After they had been severely flogged, they were thrown into prison, and the jailer was commanded to guard them carefully.

  8. 24 Upon receiving such orders, he put them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks. 25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.

  9. Joy is a gift we receive from the Lord… It allows us to discover deep happiness in the present And contentment and understanding during the tough times

  10. Happiness is a shallow emotion It is time sensitive When the object of our happiness is gone There is emptiness and longing

  11. The question: How do we keep our Joy to the maximum? Remember that you are clean Remain

  12. John 15 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.

  13. 4 Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. 5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

  14. 6 If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.

  15. 8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. 9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father’s commands and remain in his love.

  16. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.

  17. Joy springs from a relationship with Christ and his people Joy is not a passing emotion But joy can be hampered by distance and by guilt

  18. If we belong to Christ we are clean Our responsibility is to remain Remain Remain in Christ In his love, word, prayer and worship

  19. Galatians 5:22-23 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
