Scripture

Luke 2:10-12 & Luke 1:46-55

This Advent sermon on biblical joy invites us to look beyond happiness tied to circumstances. Rooted in Joy Sunday, it explores joy as something we cultivate—even in hardship—through the shepherds’ story, Mary’s Magnificat, and the song Go Tell It on the Mountain. We are challenged to choose joy shaped by gratitude, justice, and care for the lowly, and to share that “good news of great joy for all people” in every season.
