Advent Series III | True Joy invites us to rediscover joy as Scripture defines it, not as fleeting happiness or emotional escape, but as a deep, embodied response rooted in the presence and work of God. Preaching from Psalm 146 alongside Isaiah 35 and Matthew 11, Pastor Piero shows how biblical joy emerges even in deserts, prisons, and uncertainty, because it is anchored not in circumstances or human “princes,” but in the Lord who creates, sustains, executes justice, and saves. This message traces how the joy long anticipated by the prophets and sung by the psalmists is fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who brings sight to the blind, freedom to the captive, and good news to the poor. As we journey through Advent, we are invited to shift our joy from temporary outcomes to a living relationship with Immanuel, learning that true joy is relational, sustained by abiding in Christ, and made complete by trusting in what He has done rather than what we can achieve.
