• 6:02
  Speaker 1: going to be coming out of in the Lord always.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I would say it again, Rejoice, rejoice in the Lord always.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I would say it again, rejoice and form Yeah. Life
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: is filled with unpredictable moments, moments of happiness in times
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: of hardship. Yet as followers of Christ, we are called
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: to embody a joy that transcends circumstances, as joy that
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: can be shaken, that cannot be shaken by what's happening
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: around you today. Let's explore how you can choose joy
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: even when life storms are raging. Paul pinned the Book
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: of Philippians while imprisoned and Rome, awaiting the outcome of
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: his trial, a trial that with potentially a trial with
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the potential for death. Despite such dire circumstances, his letter
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: overfloors with encouragment, attitude, enjoy. When he urged believers to
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: rejoice the Lord Always, he wasn't just speaking from a
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: place of comfort but from chains. Paul reminded, reminds us
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: that isn't about the happens, what happens to us, but
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: about who we are and where we are anchored in
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: our hearts. Let me read this again. So Paul penned
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: the Book of Philippians while imprisoned in Rome in the
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: outcome of his trial, a trial. Despite such dire letter
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: overflowment grew, and when he urged believers to rejoice in
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the Lord Always, he was speaking from a place of confort,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: but from change. Paul reminds us that is about what's happening,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: but about who we are and we are anchored in
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: our hearts. For today is my the Lord, My joy
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: is dead anchored in Lord, but it's rooted in relationships,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: not circumstances. Your relationship, which is the wellspring of true joy.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: No matter what happening around you. Scripture says, you may
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: know you may you make known to me the past
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: of life. In your presence, there is fullness of joy
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: at your right, pleasures for evermore Palm sixteen and eleven.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Joy strengthens and sustain us. God's joy give us strength
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: to endure, hope to continue, and a peace that is unshakable.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Stript as, do not grieve for the Lord It's near
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: my eight ten b. Joy is choice and a witness.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: And choosing joy you testify to God's goodness and invite
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: others to wonder about the source of your strength. Strict
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: you have not seen him, love him, and even though
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: you do not see him now you believe in him,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: inter filled with inexpressible glorious joy. First peer in eighteen,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: How can we practice gratitude daily praise through pain guard
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: our mind and our heart in every six circumstance? We
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: must find ways to apply joy in every circumstance. First
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Theologian Thatssalonium five and eighteen, y'all, first Thatsalonium first Thatsalonium
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: five and eighteen. It says, count your blessings and thank
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: God continually for both small and big blessings. Give thanks
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: in all circumstance, for this is God's will for you
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: and Christ Jesus. Choose to worship God, especially when it's difficult. Praise.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Redirect your focus from problems to problems solvereign. The scripture says,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: should continually be in my mouth. Psalms thirty four and one.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: We gotta guard our mind, and we gotta guard our heart, y'all.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: We gotta replace negative thoughts and turn them into positive thoughts.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: We gotta learn to meditate on scriptures that uplift our spirits.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Philippians four eight. It says, Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: is true, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: praise worthy, think about things. Our word of today is resilience.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Resilience means thriving through adversity, not just surviving. Joy is
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: a spiritual resilience. It gives you the capacity to rise
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: above circumstances, to spring back from setbass and shine with
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: hope even it's difficult. When joy is anchored in the Lord,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: it's unbreakable. So joy transit fleeting happiness persistent regarded of
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: our circumstances. Focusing on the eternal goods of God, we
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: can experience joy that our trouble rejoicing in Him connects
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: us to a deep seated happiness that cannot be shaken.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: So rejoice always and find joy in God's unchanging nature
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: even in challenging circumstances. We need to understand that God
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: is who he said he was gonna be in our lives.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: He's not changing. He's not gonna change. So today we
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: have learned that true joy is not about dictating being
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: dictated by our circumstances, but deeply rooted in our relationship
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: with Christ. Even in the darkest valley. Just as Paul
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: wrote from prison, we can choose joy because our hope
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: is anchored in the unchanged love and faithfulness of life.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: We can have joy because we don't yet working on
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: our behalf. We know that he's worked out, regardless of
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: what it looked like in the natural. We know that
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: he's gone before us and he's working it out. Be firmed.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: My joy is steadfast, anchored In the we discovered that
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: joy is our spiritual strength and it is an inspiring
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: testimony to others. It is a daily choice that resilience
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: in every season through gratitude, praise, and trials guarding our
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: heart mind with God's promises, we can access joy and
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: in remember, joy is more than just a feeling. It
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: is resilience that allows us to thrive aim life ups
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: and downs because know that these things are gonna come.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: But because they're coming, I mean that we have to
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: be said. We got to be praised danger y'all, We
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: should be praising Him in the midst of everything that
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: we're going through. Because when we get praise, he works
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: on our behalf. He keeps us to acknowledge that we
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: are powerless. But Kim, we can have all. I want
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: to recognize acknowledge that. Also, I want you to understand
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: this joy that we have. World didn't give it, so
