We continue the Advent series, looking at the theme of joy this week. The Good News of Great Joy spoken to the shepherds in the field did not bring about the end of oppression or living in fear for the people of God. So... what was so good about it?
Pastor Steve explores how joy in the New Testament comes from unexpected moments - in the midst of darkness and pain - not in the easygoing life, despite our world's pursuit of this. Like the audacious hope and the tumultuous path of peace, this unexpected source of joy is only possible because of Immanuel.
