During today's conversation on Scripture & Story, we are going to talk about good news – the kind that brings great joy.   Christmas is only a few short days away - the season of peace and joy, light and life. But so often our experience is far less than joyful. We place our hope in earthly things and hold to unrealistic expectations, and our joy dwindles.   But what if you and I understood biblical joy? What if we were filled with authentic Holy Spirit joy? The kind of joy that rises above our circumstances and places our hope firmly in a good and sovereign God. The kind of joy that looks forward to a day when we will experience pleasures forevermore at His right hand? The kind of joy that lasts - a forever joy.   The good news of the birth of the Messiah brings this kind of joy. And as we look forward to the second coming of our Great King, our joy multiples. This is the kind of joy that is rightfully ours. And we will settle for nothing less.   P.S. Be sure to get a copy of The Christmas S.T.O.R.Y, my advent Bible study.
