In this message, Pastor Gary explores the meaning of true joy through the story of the shepherds in Luke 2. He unpacks how biblical joy is more than happiness — it is an often-cheerful contentedness rooted in the hope and peace Jesus brings. As part of the Holy Night Advent series, this message invites us to reflect on the joylessness of our world and challenges us to live out the joyful life we’ve been given as a visible witness to Christ’s transforming presence.
