Joy can feel impossible in December—especially when your world is stressed, your soul is tired, and your calendar is packed. But Advent joy isn’t based on perfect conditions… it’s anchored in a Person.
In this message, we explore the Joy of Advent: Jesus entering our world, breaking the power of darkness, and bringing a joy that holds steady in suffering. Expect Scripture, cultural honesty, and a practical call to live “defiant joy” in everyday life.
