In this message, Ps Monica Collard brings a powerful and deeply practical teaching titled “The Strength of Joy”, as part of our Season of Joy series at Equippers Church.

Joy is not the same as happiness. Happiness is circumstantial, but joy is spiritual. Drawing from Scripture, Ps Monica reminds us that “the joy of the Lord is your strength” and that joy is not something we manufacture—it is a fruit of the Holy Spirit and a decision to rejoin with joy, even in the middle of pressure, pain, or uncertainty.

This message explores how joy flows from God’s presence, grows through gratitude, and becomes a testimony to the world around us. Whether you’re on the mountaintop or walking through the valley, God is inviting you to receive a fresh oil of joy today.

In this message, you’ll discover:

• Why joy is not denial, but a spiritual decision
• The difference between pleasure, happiness, and biblical joy
• How gratitude strengthens and multiplies joy
• Why joy is a fruit of the Spirit, not a personality trait
• How joy flows from God’s presence and releases strength
• Why your joy is a powerful testimony to others
