This Advent sermon explores the profound difference between happiness and joy, emphasizing that true joy comes from God's presence rather than circumstances. Through personal testimony of loss and scriptural examination, the message reveals that joy can coexist with grief and hardship because it is rooted in God's constant presence. The sermon connects Jesus' first coming (His birth) with His second coming (Parousia), showing how both bring great joy to believers. Joy is not merely an emotion but a state of mind cultivated through proximity to God's face, hearing the good news of the gospel, and recognizing that the Word became flesh in Jesus Christ. The message concludes with practical ways to sustain joy through loving others, believing in Jesus, serving generously, recognizing our purpose, consuming God's Word, and being filled with the Holy Spirit.
