In this Advent message, Pastor Suzie Genin of Dwelling House Church teaches that true joy is not found in circumstances, emotions, or outcomes—but in the person of Jesus Himself. As part of the Advent journey, this sermon invites us to slow down, reflect, and rediscover the gospel through the lens of joy.

Drawing from Hebrews 12, Luke 2, and the story behind the hymn O Holy Night, Pastor Suzie explains how Jesus endured the cross “for the joy set before Him” and how that same joy is available to believers today—even in suffering, uncertainty, and hardship. Joy, she teaches, is not the absence of pain but the presence of Jesus, rooted in surrender, obedience, and trust.

This message challenges the mindset of striving for happiness and instead calls us to a Kingdom perspective—where Jesus alone is enough. If you’re searching for a Spirit-filled church, biblical teaching, or encouragement during the Christmas season, we invite you to encounter Jesus with us at Dwelling House Church.

1. What does it mean that Jesus is our joy, even in suffering?
