Wk 4 KINGDOM CAME Christmas ‘22—JOY to the WORLD!

Jesus CAME to BRING HEAVEN to EARTH

Luke 2:10-15 10 And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you GOOD NEWS of great joy that will be for all the people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

        JOY is not something to COME & GO or be LOST & FOUND

Psalm 16:11 ESV You make known to me the path of life; in your PRESENCE there is Fullness of Joy….

Matt 2 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy

    JOY was based on what they BELIEVED God was Doing!

Nehemiah 8:10…Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”
Not based on what I got for Christmas
Whether the Traditions stayed the Same or Even WHO all i get to Spend it WITH

MY JOY comes from the LORD, & the JOY of the LORD is my Strength!

Luke 1:44 39In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a town in Judah, 40 and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. 41And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, 42 and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! 43 And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.

 NLT When I heard your greeting, the baby in my womb jumped for joy.

You may Be in a Difficult Place
BUT you can Celebrate the ONE WHO LIVES in YOU!

The PROMISES of God have Been PLANTED in You… So LET your Spirit JUMP for JOY
