We continue our Advent sermon series, “Waiting for Jesus,” by turning from the theme of Peacemaking to the theme of Rejoicing. In a season filled with both celebration and struggle, where can we find joy that truly lasts? We will explore the angel’s announcement of “good news of great joy” and see how Jesus, our saving King, invites us into a joy that changes our lives. Discover how to receive and sustain real joy in every season.

Scripture Referenced: Luke 2:9-12
