Series: God Draws Near
Great Joy
December 17, 2023 | Peter Kozushko
Biblical joy is an attitude we can adopt even in the darkest of times. This is because it is based on God's love and promises found in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. This joy is so great that it can never be taken from us.

Series Information
Advent comes as an invitation to slow down, reenter the story of Jesus's birth, and become more aware of God's presence with us. The word advent means "the coming or arrival of something long awaited." Our Advent celebrations look back to when Jesus came to earth as the long awaited Messiah and look forward in anticipation of when Jesus will come again and make all things new. As those who faithfully wait on God to return, we can step out of a culture of busyness to experience how God draws near by the Holy Spirit. This Advent we will focus on the traditional themes of peace, hope, joy, and love using videos from the Bible Project along with the Scripture passages that foretold Christ's coming and recount his birth. Join us this season as we seek to draw near to the One who took on flesh to draw near to us.
