Full of Joy | Christina Pelletier | Christian Life Church, Eliot Maine

Christina Pelletier presents a message on restoring joy in the presence of God. Happiness, like many emotions, is fleeting. True joy is biblically defined as a lasting fruit of a close relationship with God. Joy is often diminished through sin, trials, distractions, and spiritual neglect, but it is renewed through time spent in God’s presence. Through rebuilding spiritual foundations on prayer, gratitude, scripture, worship, service, and fellowship, we find restoration and joy. What does spending time in God’s presence look like in everyday life? Prayer – talking and listening to God (1 Chron. 16:11; John 15:11) Gratitude – cultivating a thankful attitude (Gal. 5:17–18) Scripture – reading and meditating on God’s Word (Jer. 15:16a; Josh. 1:8) Worship – intentional time focused on God’s presence (Psalm 100:1–2) Service – serving God and serving others (1 Peter 4:10; Psalm 84:10) Fellowship – We need time with each other. (Heb. 10:24-25 )
