Fall 2024 - Week 5 - Shift from Pursuing Happiness to Pursuing Joy
Description
In this week’s episode, Pastor Josh emphasizes the need to prioritize achieving joy in our relationship with God. He states how joy and finding the most pleasure and satisfaction as possible is the way to give God the most glory and to endure through any circumstance, and overcome any sin issues. He highlights how joy is not a one time interaction, but we have to keep choosing to make decisions that will produce joy in our lives. He makes several central points: 1. Pursuing temporary happiness is robbing many people from eternal joy 2. Friendship with the World Hinders Us from Experiencing Joy 3. God’s Presence Being the Beginning of Our Pursuit for Joy 4. Increasing Revelation of Perfect Love Increases Our Joy and Desire to Obey His Commands 5. Joy is Ultimately Fulfilled in Jesus’ Second Coming
