Christmas Hymn Hakuna Matata The Lord is come. Let earth receive her king.

Hakuna Matata No worries Problem-free philosophy

Joy to the world, the Lord is come!

The Gift of Joy! Come in a spirit of honesty. You don’t have to cast aside your worries to unwrap this gift of joy Inexpressible and glorious joy 1 Peter 1:8

Re JOY cing Psalm 96:11–13: “Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that is in it. Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them; let all the trees of the forest sing for joy. Let all creation rejoice before the LORD, for He comes.”

What if you just don’t feel joy this season? Suffering, loneliness, pain, grief, busyness, stress, or boredom? How we can anticipate, recognize, and choose joy.

How to Anticipate Joy Israelites Some gave up hope Some just carried on with life Others held out hope

How to Anticipate Joy We can anticipate the coming of joy We can prepare to move from our state of discouragement or oblivion into an experience of life-giving joy.

How to Anticipate Joy

How to Anticipate Joy Let’s experience Advent as a season when we anticipate the arrival of joy, even when we struggle with the realities of today.

How to Recognize Joy

How to Recognize Joy We expect joy to be free of worry and hardship Joy is found in the midst of, and even because of, hard things. James 1:2–3

How to Recognize Joy When we recognize that joy comes from trials—because they produce perseverance that makes us into the people God wants us to be—then we can experience joy even in the midst of hard times.

How to Choose Joy Joy is a gift. Joy is a fruit of the Spirit. So we can’t just create it by trying harder—but we can choose to live the way that God says bring joy.

How to Choose Joy We can choose to give thanks We can choose to obey We can choose to abide When we do these things, we open ourselves to the gift of joy.

Choosing Gratitude Give thanks Giving thanks opens our hearts to joy 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 Gratitude leads us toward joy When you feel anything but joy, give thanks

Choosing to Obey John 15:11 We often want joy to just appear from out of nowhere, but Jesus said it comes from obedience.

Choosing to Abide The second part to the secret of joy!

Joy! Our joy is made complete by imitating Christ’s love and obedience. Let this season of Advent be a time of gratitude, obedience, and abiding in His love as we anticipate the joy He brings this Christmas.
