Podcasts about Count It All Joy

Leave the Past Behind! People who have inherited eternal life, because they accepted God's gracious gift of forgiveness of their sins, should always be joyful. They can cast all their burdens and needs, onto the Lord. They do not have to carry their shame and guilt into their present from the past. These people are learning, day by day, that God is Jehovah Jireh, their provider and Jehovah Rapha, the healer of their spirit, soul and body. God's children can be healed, through faith, in God's word, from any sickness or disease, they have to overcome. Furthermore, they have complete security, as a child of God, to overcome whatever circumstance they may encounter. Their joy should be full, when they realise, they are no longer in Satan's kingdom of darkness, but are now in God's kingdom of light and love.

In this honest and weighty message kicking off the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Karl walks through the Beatitudes—the nine “blessed are” statements that reveal the heart attitudes Jesus demands of every true disciple. From spiritual poverty and mourning over sin to meekness, insatiable hunger for righteousness, mercy, purity of heart, peacemaking, and even rejoicing in persecution, these aren't optional extras; they're the non-negotiable “be-attitudes” that must mark every citizen of God's kingdom.When these attitudes shape us, we naturally become the salt of the earth and the light of the world—distinct from culture, preserving what is decaying, and shining so brightly that others see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven. A convicting reminder that following Jesus was never meant to look like the world around us.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Joy is in the programming of the new birth. As believers in Christ Jesus, joy is our default setting. Joy is not only how we draw from salvation, it is how we live and demonstrate the life of God that has been revealed to us in Christ Jesus. Your DNA determines and dictates your thoughts, emotions, and health and so since joy is the believer's DNA, we think thoughts leaning toward joy and peace. Joy is our default response to life's events and circumstances.The Father's desire is for us as His children to come into an experiential knowledge of joy and release joy from our Spirits into our souls and bodies. When circumstances seem to be adverse and turning against us, we can choose to experience the beautiful emotion of joy, released from our Spirit, drowning every negative emotion.This teaching episode is designed to let you in on the truth about the programing of the believer that is joy-laden.

Having a perspective of joy has very special benefits. One of such benefits is that joy helps the human mind to develop staying power, stamina, strength, and stickability in the face of contrary winds and contradictory circumstances. If there's anything that we must master, it is the ability to stand firm, holding out the truth of God's word, with a joy-laden disposition.Joy represents the presence of faith. It is easy to stay with what God has promised when you develop an attitude of joy.  Believing God's word becomes tangible when joy leads our faith demonstrations and declarations. Joy helps the believer to develop staying power- spine. It is harder to defeat a person who has refused to give up and who has remained joyful in the process. God wants you to hold out His perspective in life and have the boldness to not quit until you see the end of your faith.

Abba is that good Father that delights in seeing His kids attain win after win. Your highest fulfillment and joy gives your daddy great pleasure and delight. God loves your joy. Every time things go well for you in life, every time you win and excel, your Daddy-God smiles and rejoices. Your joy gives your Father great joy. It is to this end that God always wants you to embrace joy in the provisions of the gospel.Everything Jesus accomplished in His finished work was for your joy. For God so loved the world because God so loves to see you in joy. The love of God for you is so that you can experience the joy of God in seeing you live in the light of the gospel.God wants you to journey through life with eyes fixed on His love for you, the love that is His joy and delight for you.

James 1:2–3 says this.... “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.” Make this our mission today... to count it all joy!

James invites us to take a new perspective on trials—to see them as occasions for joy. Yes, easier said than done. But to help us take this counterintuitive approach to life's hard stuff, James points us to something we need to know, pray, and see.

Pastor Jared Richard's sermon on James 1:2-18 examines the strange pairing of joy and trials that James introduces in his letter. Just as some unexpected combinations work well together (like French fries and milkshakes), joy and trials can coexist when viewed through the lens of godly wisdom. Pastor Jared explains that God uses trials to reveal genuine faith and strengthen it as He prepares believers for future glory. The sermon outlines two possible paths when facing trials: the path of wisdom and the path of foolishness. The path of wisdom sees trials as tests from a good Father who wants us to succeed, leading to endurance, perseverance, and ultimately Christian maturity. This perspective allows believers to "count it all joy" (James 1:2) amid difficulties. Conversely, the path of foolishness views trials as temptations, leading to sinful desires, actions, and ultimately death. Pastor Jared reminds us that God is unchanging and good, that He "gives generously to all without reproach" (James 1:5), and that for those who remain steadfast, the "crown of life" awaits (James 1:12).   WE'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!

James 1:2-4

James 1 - Count it All Joy by Chaplain Braswell

How do you find joy when life feels overwhelming? In this episode of the Jaime Luce Podcast, we dive into the book of James to uncover the powerful truth that trials are not meant to break us but to build steadfast faith. James urges believers to “count it all joy when you meet trials of various kinds” because the testing of faith produces endurance and maturity. Drawing from her own experiences and the Word of God, Jaime shows how joy is not a denial of pain but a choice to trust in God's promises. Through scripture, personal stories, and encouragement, you'll learn: - Why trials strengthen and refine your faith - How asking God for wisdom brings direction in times of uncertainty - Why joy is a powerful source of spiritual strength - What it means to live out your faith with action, not just words - How Jesus Himself endured suffering “for the joy set before Him” (Hebrews 12:2) If you are weary, discouraged, or facing challenges, this message will remind you that God is faithful. Sorrow is temporary, but His joy is eternal.

We will all experience challenges that can either bring us closer to the Lord and shape our testimony of joy, or it can drive us away from the Lord. Rhonda has experienced many challenges in her life, some being diabetes since age 11, paralysis in her 20's, and the loss of her eyesight 7 years ago. None of these things made her angry or bitter at God. In this episode, Rhonda shares encouragement for the person struggling to have joy and how she has a deep rooted trust and joy in Christ that lasts beyond circumstances. James 1:2-4 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.If this episode was encouraging to you, you should share it with someone!

10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully, 11 inquiring what person or time[a] the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories. 12 It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look.—1 Peter 1: 10-12

In the final program in the series on suffering, we glean an incredibly encouraging message: that we can count it all joy when we suffer, because our suffering makes us ever more like Christ.James 1:2-4 says, "My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing."Being joyful during suffering may seem counterintuitive, but the fact is - we can rejoice in seasons of suffering, for four specific reasons we will explore today, as we Rinse and Repeat!(RAR2025EP22)

Count it all Joy in the Father who gets us through life's trials.

Count it all Joy in the Father who gets us through life's trials.

In Scripture, followers of Christ are encouraged to rejoice, even in the midst of suffering and trials. How is this possible? Be encouraged as John explains and shares individual examples to help us understand how to "count it all joy."

Welcome to the School of Ministry podcast where today's lesson centers around James 1:1-3 and explores the profound teachings of enduring trials with joy and patience. We learn how Scripture emphasizes the significance of love in sustaining faith through life's adversities, while keeping our focus upon Jesus. This episode unravels the numerous tests described in James chapter one, highlighting perseverance as a reflection of genuine love and true faith in Christ. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on the nature of trials, alongside examples from scripture, to understand that trials are a divine opportunity from God for our growth and fellowship with Him. By imitating the attitude of figures like the Apostle Paul, who found joy even in imprisonment, we learn to anticipate the resulting spiritual maturity and deeper relationship with the Lord.

Episode Summary: In honor of International Happiness Day, join me as I sit down with Rev. Jessica Van Roekel to explore what it really means to count it all joy. As we reflect on personal experiences and biblical examples, we’ll highlight the distinction between circumstantial happiness and the deep, steadfast joy that comes from trusting God through trials. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of how joy can be a deliberate response to life’s challenges, cultivating faith and steadfastness. Whether you’re navigating hardship or seeking a renewed perspective, this conversation offers hope and encouragement to find joy in every circumstance. International Day of Happiness aims to make people around the world realize the importance of happiness within their lives. This day encourages people to spread happiness through a small action. But what happens when actions don’t cut it, and the feeling of happiness lasts mere seconds? What do we do when the idea of happiness seems far off and impossible? Quotables from the episode: I liken joy and happiness, the difference between that is that a river usually has a source. And A river can get filled up with mud and leaves and twigs and even beavers come along and build dams and so further on down the little stream, it's just dried up, rocky, dry bed. But if you follow that stream, you eventually come to the source and the source is where it just bubbles out. And that's how I liken happiness and joy is that joy is the source. My relationship with the Lord is my source of really life. It's my source of source of strength. It's my source of everything. The breath that I breathe comes from God and that is my joy. So, I can have these circumstances like postpartum where it felt like continue on with the analogy that streambed dried up. It's like the depression built this dam between the feelings of happiness and yet that joy, the source was still bubbling and still there. From a neuroscience perspective, happiness and joy engage the brain in distinct but overlapping ways. Both emotions activate reward systems in the brain, but their triggers, durations, and neural pathways differ significantly. Happiness is often a fleeting emotional state triggered by external stimuli or achievements, like eating a favorite meal, receiving a compliment, or reaching a goal. The brain's happiness response is typically short-lived, subsiding once the rewarding experience ends or the novelty wears off. Joy is a deeper, more enduring emotional state that often arises from intrinsic sources, such as gratitude, faith, or connection with others. Unlike happiness, it does not rely solely on external circumstances. Joy is more sustainable than happiness because it is less tied to transient external factors and more rooted in internal states like faith, gratitude, and meaningful relationships. Happiness primarily relies on external stimuli and rewards, triggering immediate but temporary dopamine release Joy emerges from internal processes and deeper reflections, engaging serotonin pathways and regions involved in emotional and existential meaning. Happiness is short-term, as the brain’s reward circuitry adapts quickly to pleasurable stimuli (a phenomenon called hedonic adaptation). Joy is longer-lasting, supported by neural circuits linked to emotional regulation, contentment, and resilience. Happiness can be disrupted by stress, as the brain's focus shifts to managing perceived threats. Joy can coexist with stress, as it often stems from a sense of purpose or faith that provides emotional resilience during trials. Happiness happens to us while joy happens within us—fruit of the Spirit, a choice, endures hardships/sufferings. Happiness is a reaction but joy is a practice and a behavior, deliberate and intentional. In the Bible, happiness appears less than 30 times but joy appears hundreds of times. Counting it all joy when we face trials means we: experience God’s strength, feel the power of faith, hang on God’s powerful arm, and witness God’s work. When we “count it all joy” God proves himself faithful to produce steadfastness in our hearts. Scripture References: James 1:2-4, ESV “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And Let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” Esther 8:16, NIV “For the Jews it was a time of happiness and joy, gladness and honor.” Proverbs 23:25, NLT “So give your father and mother joy! May she who gave you birth be happy.” Psalm 92:4, NET “For you, O Lord, have made me happy by your work. I will sing for joy because of what you have done.” Isaiah 52:7, ESV and NASB “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.” Psalm 32:1-2 NLT “Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight! Yes, what joy for those whose record the LORD has cleared of guilt, whose lives are lived in complete honesty! 2 Corinthians 12:10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
