The joy behind the troubles
Peter is writing to Christians who are facing great struggles and suffering, but he reminds them that these trials are not their destination. They’re passing through. Joy is ahead. If they can just hold on.
Joy is the serious business of Heaven
The message is simple and clear – when Heaven breaks out, joy breaks out! Those who draw close to Jesus experienced great joy.
It’s hard to be miserable and joyful at the same time
Jesus doesn’t offer us a bucket of happiness – that’s way too shallow for His aspirations for us.

We’ll be taking a look at what the bible teaches us about joy – and how that can bring sunlight into our life even in rainy or stormy seasons.
