Joy in the Lord

Happy or Joyful? Happiness: Often dependent on what is happening to us & the world around us Joy: A profound, compelling quality of life that goes beyond circumstance. Joy is a divine dimension of living.

Happy or Joyful? Happiness is external; Joy is internal Happiness is based on chance; Joy is based on choice Happiness is based on circumstances; Joy is based on Jesus

Joy in the Lord Phil. 4:4-7 “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let you gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything but in everything, by prayer & petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts & your minds in Christ Jesus.

Joy in the Lord Phil. 4:8 - 9 “Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me – put it into practice. And the peace of God will be with you.”

Joy in the Lord Paul is reminding the Philippians that  Joy is God’s gift to forgiven people Ps16:11, Jn 15:11; Rom 14:17 AND  Is part of the fruit the Spirit produces - Gal 5:22

Joy in the Lord How does the bible describe Joy?  OT : 1 Sam 18 = “bright & shining”  NT: Acts 3:5-10 = Leaping & jumping

Joy in the Lord  “Joy” described the New Testament Christian  Does it describe us?

How do we become Joyful? When we have the right perspective 1. Joy comes from us understanding the truth – Rom 5: Joy comes from having peace with God – - Phil 4:7 3. Joy comes from being accepted - Gal 4: Joy comes from having hope in the future - 1Pt 1:3-9

Summary Happiness is external; Joy is internal Happiness is based on chance; Joy is based on choice Happiness is based on circumstances; Joy is based on Jesus

Summary Biblical definition of Joy “Joy is the settled assurance that God is in control of all the details of our life, the quiet confidence that ultimately everything is going to be alright & the determined choice to praise God in every situation.”

Summary “We’re depending on God; he’s everything we need. What’s more, our hearts brim with joy since we’ve taken for our own his holy name. Love us God, with all you’ve got – that’s what we’re depending on.” Ps 33:20-22 (Message)
