We are all looking for Joy but let’s ask ourselves what do we know about Joy? What is it, how do we gain it, maintain it and spread it? Where does Joy come from and how is it made. The truth is we know so little about something we desire so much. Join us this Sunday at 10:30 am worship Service as we explore “The Mystery of Joy”

Scriptural Reading
John 15:8-11 ( New International Version)
8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
Sermonic Text
Matthew 1: 20-24 ( New International Version)
20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,[a] because he will save his people from their sins.”
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”[b] (which means “God with us”).
24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.
