The Promise of Joy
The prophets promised a joy that would not depend on circumstances but on the coming of God Himself--a joy that restores, strengthens, and transforms. That promise is fulfilled in Jesus as presence, salvation, and purpose, giving us a joy the world cannot create or take away.
Scripture: Isaiah 61:1-3, Psalms 16:11, Luke 1:46-47
From Series: "Prophets & Promises"
In 2 Corinthians 1:20, Paul writes, “For no matter how many promises God has made, they are ‘Yes’ in Christ.” This season invites us to listen to the voices of the prophets—Isaiah, Micah, Zephaniah, and others who point to the divine promises of Jesus. During Advent, we celebrate God’s next “yes” --his fulfilled promises in each of our lives.
