The Third Sunday of Advent is known as the "Sunday of Joy." In our message today, we learn that true joy comes from God. Living in joy means finding and receiving joy, then maintaining it despite life's challenges. We need to seek intimacy and closeness with God in order to live righteously, experience His peace, and to be filled with divine joy. During this season of Advent, we expectantly await Jesus' joy just like the psalmist, the apostle Paul, Jesus himself, Simeon, Anna, and so many more. We also prophetically activate heavenly joy as we prepare for 2024.
