The Colors of Christmas: Red
Anger Can Steal Our Joy

How to find joy this Christmas Season:
1. Joy Is Found in Choices, Not Circumstances
· Core Verse: Romans 6:23
· Joy begins with accepting God’s gift of Jesus Christ as Savior.
· Jesus bridges the gap between sinful man and a holy God.
2. Respond with Immediate Obedience

· Delayed obedience is still disobedience.
· What has Jesus called you to do that you’ve been delaying?

3. Share Your Discovery with Others
