Joy doesn’t come after everything gets better. It comes because God steps in.

In this message from Luke 1, we walk through Mary’s encounter with Elizabeth and her song of praise to discover a deeper kind of joy. Not optimism. Not denial. Not circumstances lining up. Christian joy flows from God’s saving work breaking into real life.

Mary’s circumstances stay uncertain, but her joy is anchored in who God is and what He has promised. This message reminds us that joy is not something we chase. It is Someone who comes for us.
