✨ Advent Reflection: Joy — A Less Hype, More Hope Christmas Join Isaac and Emily for a worshipful Advent reflection on Joy—a joy rooted not in circumstances, but in the nearness of God. In Luke 2:8–14, the shepherds hear the angel’s announcement: “I bring you good news of great joy.” Heaven breaks into the ordinary as the Savior is revealed, and peace is proclaimed on earth. Advent joy is not naïve. It does not ignore pain—it rests in the truth that redemption has entered the world. True biblical joy is less of something you choose and more the realization that Someone has chosen you. From that knowing flows deep, lasting joy. This Advent, let's welcome a less hype, more hope kind of joy.
