It’s been a really tough year for me personally but I can truly look back and find many reasons to be joyful. With all the negative news reports and constant reminders of the economic downturn across the globe, the world does not seem to offer many reasons to be joyful in these times but I firmly believe that we can always find joy at the heart of our faith. The bible says that the joy of the Lord is our strength. It also says that God will replace our mourning with the oil of joy. If these scriptures are true then why has it become so difficult to be joyful? Bill Johnson reckons it’s time we got serious about joy and I totally agree with him! Enjoy the sermon
