In order for us share joy to the world, we first need to have joy in our hearts.
What is Joy?
“Biblical joy is more than a happy feeling. It's a lasting emotion that comes from the choice to trust that God will fulfill his promises.” - The Bible Project
Christ being born is the beginning of the fulfillment of God’s greatest promise of a coming savior.
This Song is actually about the Second Coming of Christ.
The Second Coming will be the fulfillment of promises God made for Jesus to return and rule over all creation.
You can trust in God’s promise that if you put your faith in Jesus, sin is defeated.
The whole world needs to hear about the Joy we have in Christ.
In 2020, Spokane was 25.875% Evangelical Protestant.

The Coca-Cola Company has a presence in more than 200 countries. It has been listed as the world’s most valuable brand serving a daily average of 1.9 billion people. 94% of the world’s population recognizes the red and white Coca-Cola logo. The world has more recognition of a soda pop than of Jesus.
We have a mission to proclaim Joy to the World. Not just sing about it during Christmas time.
This song is all about the fulfillment of what Christ came to do in the first place. Christmas is not only a time to look back at the grace accomplished in the past. Christmas is also a time to look forward to the grace that was accomplished for our future. When we sing these words we are proclaiming the ultimate joy to be revealed. This is why we can sing ”Joy to the World” at Christmas. - Alyssa Poblete, The Gospel Coalition
It is only through a personal understanding of what Christ has done, is doing, and will do for you, that you can have everlasting joy.
In order to share Joy to the World—you first need Joy in your heart.
