Sermon 03/11/2018

Jesus Christ is the center of where true joy lives.  Only when we are focused on Him, walking with Him and in a right relationship with Him can we find true and lasting joy.  But what can hold us back from experiencing this joy that He meant for us to have?  Three "joy killers" or "thieves of joy" are explored:

1. Unmet expectations
2. Unresolved conflict
3. Unconfessed sin
