The trouble with many people is that they have got just enough religion to make them
miserable. If there is not joy in religion, you’ve got a leak in your religion.” - Billy Sunday
Joy is the fruit of a spirit-filled life (Galatians 5:22)
Joy is the fruit of a right relationship with God
1 Thessalonians 5:16 - Always be joyful. NLT
Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
EXPERIENCING JOY: THANKFUL FOR THE PAST
Philippians 1:3 I thank my God every time I remember you.
Paul saw his circumstances from a thankful perspective
Hebrews 12:28 Since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful.
EXPERIENCING JOY: THANKFUL IN PRAYER
Pray with an attitude of gratitude.
Our Promise Land? Experiencing abundant life in Jesus. (John 10:10)
Nehemiah 8:10 The joy of the Lord is our strength.
Increasing your joy: View every relationship as given by God
WHAT do I need to be more grateful for?
WHO do I need to be more grateful for?
EXPERIENCING JOY: THANKFUL FOR GOD’S GOOD WORK
Joy is the settled assurance that God is in control of all the details of my life and the quiet
confidence that ultimately everything is going to be alright and the determined choice to
praise God in all things. - Kay Warren
Worry overwhelms us every time we carry what God wants to carry for us
Matthew 11:30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.

1 Corinthians 4:17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory.
Joy: The visible expression of God working in your life
