Listen "He is Coming"
Episode Synopsis
Struggling to find lasting joy during the Christmas season? In this powerful message, Lead Pastor Allen Bonnell explores how the beloved Christmas hymn "Joy to the World" isn't actually about Christ's birth - it's about His triumphant return. Through an examination of Psalm 98, Pastor Allen reveals why true joy can't be found in presents, perfect family gatherings, or meeting holiday expectations. Instead, discover how focusing on Christ's second coming can transform your perspective and bring genuine joy this Christmas season.Learn why happiness based on circumstances will always disappoint, and how to experience the deep, lasting joy that comes from placing your hope in eternal promises rather than temporary pleasures. Pastor Allen shares four practical ways to cultivate authentic joy: placing your hope in Christ's return, treasuring eternal things over material goods, giving your life away in service to others, and surrendering your rights instead of fighting for them.Whether you're facing loneliness, loss, or disappointment this holiday season, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of true Christian joy, this message offers biblical wisdom and hope for your journey.
