Jesus is All You Need

Refining Your Character - Defining Your Destiny. Isaiah 9:1-7

In this passage, there is a promise of Peace, Hope & Joy.  In verse 3 (Isaiah 9:3), God prophetically declares that He has increased your joy!
  1. What is JOY?
    • Joy is "complete satisfaction in God"

  2. How Do I Get More Joy?
    • “In Your presence there is fullness of Joy!” - Psalm 16:11 - FULLNESS: to be saturated
  3. Why do I need more Joy?
  • His Presence brings Joy & Joy releases Strength!
  • Trouble chases away happiness BUT… Joy attracts Strength
Rejoicing is the outward expression of joy.  Today, let your joy be evident to all!
  • Don't let anything or anyone 'destroy your joy!'
CHALLENGE: Rejoice so that everyone around you will see the Joy of the Lord in the midst of your life's situations and circumstances.

    In my life, I need the Lords joy. Its what's gives me strength everyday. With out that joy I have nothing to go back to. A lot of things in life come to squeeze out my joy, however Pastor Kevin Begley's demonstration with the sponge in the water shows us how we need to saturate ourselves in the Lords joy through the word, worship, prayer etc. Another powerful message from our Pastors. Miss a service, miss a lot!

    How do you get the strength to keep going? The Joy of the Lord is the answer. So how do you get that? Well, that's easy. Stay in the word and prayer on a daily basis. King David said "...in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation." Constant relationship with God will give you all that you need to succeed.
