When you abide in Jesus you abide in Joy | Ps Seth Morrow | MC Waco
Description
In this message, Pastor Seth touches on the attribute of Joy produced in the Fruit of the Spirit. Ps Seth explains that Joy is not merely a fleeting feeling or momentary high—it is a deep, abiding reality that comes from a relationship with Jesus. That, unlike happiness, which is natural, common, and often tied to circumstances, joy is supernatural, holy, and rooted in grace. It cannot be manufactured through behavior modification, dopamine hits, pharmaceuticals, or even by striving to "be happy." Joy is not the world’s to give—it is the Lord’s, and it is received, not rehearsed. True joy is found in the presence of God; it comes from abiding in Jesus, and when we abide in Him, we also abide in His joy. As we seek the Lord daily, He lifts the heavy burdens from our shoulders, reminding us that joy is not determined by what’s around us, but by who is within us. If your circumstances determine your joy, those same circumstances will eventually steal it. But the joy of the Lord is constant because it flows from an encounter with God Himself. So don’t overlook His presence—when you recognize His joy, you are recognizing Him.
