Joy no matter what
Gospel advancement no matter what

You can’t expect for the world to give you what only God can give you.

Happiness is external.
Joy is internal.

Happiness is based on circumstance.
Joy is based on Jesus.

Happiness happens by chance.
Joy happens by choice.

Harvard University study, one in three believe that:

· You have needs in your life and no one to meet them.
· You have hurts to share and no one to listen to them.
· You have love to give and no one to receive it.

What we are seeking isn’t joy – it’s Jesus.
Joy is a byproduct of knowing Jesus.
