Joy Is Closer Than You Think

This message draws us into the heart of Christmas through true joy—not fleeting happiness, but the deep, steady joy that comes from being close to Jesus. Through Zachariah and Elizabeth’s story, we see how God restores joy even after seasons of disappointment. We’re reminded that joy isn’t manufactured; it comes from making space for God’s presence, letting the good news outweigh the bad, and choosing praise even in pain. This message invites us to honestly assess our joy and return to the only source who can truly fill us.
