Advent 2025 - Week 3: Joy

How can I find real joy when I’m exhausted this Christmas? What does the Bible say about joy that doesn’t depend on my circumstances? In this Week 3 Advent message on Joy, Rebecca Boyd speaks to weary hearts and reminds us that “Christmas joy is for you.” She highlights Zechariah’s prophecy (Luke 1:78-79), pointing to Jesus as the light that breaks into darkness and guides us into peace, and she echoes Isaiah’s promise of “everlasting joy” for the ransomed of the Lord. The takeaway: Christian joy isn’t tied to favorable circumstances—it rests on our unchanging relationship with the Lord. Highlights: • “Christmas joy is for the weary.” • Luke 1:78-79 proclaimed as God’s tender mercy bringing light to those in darkness. • Isaiah 35 promises everlasting joy for God’s people. • Joy runs deeper than circumstances—rooted in the Spirit’s work. #Advent2025 #ChristmasJoy #JoyOfTheLord #JoyToTheWorld #AdventSeries #AdventSeason #Emmanuel #Luke1 #Isaiah35 #GodWithUs Luke 1:78-79; Isaiah 35:10; 1 Peter 1:8; Nehemiah 8:10.
