Please stand with me and honor of God's word as we have our scripture reading.
This morning's reading is John chapter 15 verses 9 through 17.
As the father loved me.
I also have loved you loved you abide in my love.
If you keep my Commandments, you will buy them.
My love just as I have kept my father's Commandments and abide in his love.
These things.
I have spoken to you.
That my joy May remain in you and that your joy may be full.
This is my commandment.
That you love one another as I have loved you.
Greater love has no one than this than to lay down, one's life for his friends.
You are my friends.
If you do what I have commanded, you.
No longer, do I call you?
Servants for a servant does not know what his master is doing, but I have called your friends for all things that I heard from my father.
I have made known to you.
You did not choose me.
But I chose you and appointed you that you should go and hear bear fruit.
And that your fruit should remain that, whatever you ask, the father in my name.
He may give you these things.
I command you that you love one.
Another.
And that is the word of God.

Thank you, Mike.
So with it being communion Sunday, we are not in 1st Corinthians as you noticed.
We're in John.
Our title today is, Jesus gives us joy.
Jesus gives us joy.
Let's begin with prayer.
Father, I thank you so very much.
For each person that you have brought here.
Father, it is such a blessing to have a committed Body of Christ, a local body here at Grace Church and it is such a blessing to know that when we gather together.
Father.
There is Joy.
So as we look at your word and as we learn today.
What it means to have joy, I pray father that you would work in our hearts that your Holy Spirit would set me aside and communicate the truth of your word to your people.
By the way, thank you for this opportunity that we have.
We asked that Christ would be glorified in all things and his precious name we pray.
Amen.
Joy is not the product of a problem, free existence.
Joy is produced as we are aware of God's promises and are confident in his faithfulness to fulfill them.
This means that what Joy requires most is the marriage of knowledge and faith.
We need to know who our God is, and what he has promised.
And then we need to be relieved that he will do what he has promised.
And when that happens, we have joy.
God always keeps his promises and because he does that we anticipate that the end.
He has promised will be our reality at someday.
And so we have joy in the midst of present circumstances because we know who our God is and what he is doing.
So just to be clear Joy is our topic this morning.
Joy is something that as Believers.
We know, we're supposed to have, right?
And you're far too often.
It is not a part of our normal experience.
We read verses about joy, and if we're honest, we're sometimes a little skeptical, right?
We read verses like Psalm 30 verse 5 weeping, may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning and we go.
Yeah, right.
So I missed.
I can we play more than one night.
Rent.
Psalm 16 verse 11, you will know, show me the path of life in your presence is fullness of joy.
At your right.
Hand are Pleasures, forevermore and we read this and we save for that sounds impossible to have.
And yeah, that is what scripture what Christ himself.
As promised.
So the question is, how can we have joy?
How can we have joy?
That is the question.
We're going to consider today.
Do we have a principal?
And the principal is.
This Joy is a normal and expected experience of the child of God.
Joy is a normal and expected experience of the child of God.
That means that when Joy is absent from our lives, it indicates the presence of a spiritual problem.
When we don't have joy, it means there is a problem.
So that is our principal Joy has been normal and expected experience.
This principle comes with guidance, using three unexpected methods.
We can have joy joy as possible.
If we do what God's commands.
So, the principal Joy is the normal and expected experience, using these three unexpected methods.
We can have joy and that leads us to this outcome.
When we follow God's Direction, Joy is the result.
Okay, Joy does not just happen.
It must be pursued SO3 unexpected methods to Joy method.
Number one, we must abide in his love abide in his love.
John chapter 15 verses 9 through 11.
John 15:9.
As the father loved me.
I also have loved you abide in my love.
If you keep my Commandments, you will abide in my love.
Just as I have kept my father's Commandments and abide in his love.
These things.
I have spoken to you.
That my joy May remain in you and that your joy may be full first.
Let's consider the Father's Love For the sun, right?
He says that my father is loving me.
How does the father love the sun while the Father's Love is perfect picture.
A perfect, flawless.
Diamond, God's love is perfect.
