Matthew 21:1 -11
John 17:1 - 5

Finding Joy in discouragements

We find joy in the story of Jesus.
Happyness - like waves on the ocean that go up and down according to circumstances.
Joy - Is deep. It's unmoveable, unaffected by the storms of life.
We depend on something greater than the things of this world.
Real Joy - Jesus as Emmanuel - God with us!
He is with us, in us, no matter what!
Great joy - hand in hand with the Good News.

Psalm 98

Repentance - to think and act differently. Turning to God.

Finding joy
Make room for Him in your heart. 'Let every heart prepare Him room...'
Saying yes to God is important, but we should structure our lives differently.

Worship.

Revelation 4:8 - 11
