Every December we sing Joy to the World as a celebration of Jesus’ birth but what if the song was never meant to stop at the manger? In this message, “When Joy is Life,” we explore how Jesus didn’t just come to rescue us from sin, but to restore us to a new way of living. Through Luke 2, we see that joy is not automatic; it is intentional, formed through relationship with God as Father, rooted in His presence, and grown through daily obedience. Salvation gives us new life, but formation teaches us how to live it. This message invites us to stop chasing joyful moments and start cultivating a joyful life.
