Last Sunday, Pastor Josh delved into the differences between happiness and joy, highlighting how our culture's relentless chase for happiness often leaves us unfulfilled. Instead, he urged us to embrace joy—an enduring state rooted in our faith and relationship with God. Using the story of Lazarus from the Gospel of John, he illustrated that joy persists even through sorrow and hardship, transforming our lives in beautiful ways. Joy, unlike fleeting happiness, is a deep-seated assurance in God's presence and promises. Let’s carry this message forward, finding and sharing joy in all circumstances.
