Derek Turner - Advent - Joy River Church Charlotte Podcast

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are well-known tenets of the American dream. But they remain a dream for many because humanity’s efforts can never guarantee them. Happiness is a chase. Joy is a choice. This is why God chose to become one of us and rescue all of us. You were the reason Jesus joyfully endured the cross. Only Jesus can make the dream a reality because He came to make us alive, bring us true freedom, and embed Joy deep with us. Now we can blissfully declare, “Joy to the world the Lord has come!” This third week of Advent, Pastor Derek will be reminding us Joy is a spiritual force. This Joy is the atmosphere of Heaven and it will sustain you through any trial and bring you out flourishing and focused on Jesus.
