What is at the *heart* of the Gospel? Would you be surprised if it turns out the answer is… JOY?

It’s true… Hebrews 12:2 says that what led Jesus to the cross was the JOY set before Him. Jesus deeply cares about your joy.

Grab your Bible and a pack of highlighters because we’re diving into 20+ verses about joy, delight, rejoicing and pleasure! And friend, this only scratches the surface. We challenge you to begin marking up every time you see joy or delight in Scripture… it won't be long until your Bible is covered in highlights from cover to cover.
