This Sunday's Inspirational Message is:

You've Got The Joy and Peace...or Do You?

Here are three key takeaways from this expository sermon based on John 15:1-11 and Galatians 5:22-23.

1. Joy and peace are fruits of the Spirit, not dependent on circumstances. True joy and peace come from abiding in Christ, not from external situations or temporary happiness. As we remain connected to Him, we experience His constant presence and provision, regardless of life's challenges.

2. Self-centeredness and disobedience block the flow of joy and peace. Focusing on ourselves or rebelling against God's will leads to frustration, anger, and a lack of fulfillment. Joy and peace are found in surrendering to God's purposes and walking in obedience to His commands.

3. Joy and peace grow through abiding in Christ and exposure to His Word. As we abide in Christ and immerse ourselves in Scripture, our hearts are filled with His love, and we experience the fullness of joy and peace. Prayer, obedience, and bearing fruit for His Kingdom deepen our sense of fulfillment in Him.
