Joy Of The Lord
"The Joy of the Lord is My Strength: Joy" - Pastor Marvin Mumford (Fruit of the Spirit)
In Part 5 of our Joyful Series, Bishop Andrew leans into an often underestimated or unexpected source of God's Joy: service. He challenges us around how we can experience The Joy Of The Lord, in this life-changing manner.
May 25th, 2025 | Stand Alone | Nehemiah 8“The joy of the Lord is your strength.” These ancient words, spoken during a moment of deep conviction and spiritual awakening in Nehemiah 8, still offer power and hope to us today.In this episode, Pastor Matt Darby unpacks what it really means to live with the joy of the Lord—not as a fleeting feeling, but as a deep, sustaining strength rooted in God's presence, promises, and purpose. As we witness a broken people hearing God's Word and weeping over their sin, we're reminded that joy isn't the denial of pain—it's divine defiance in the midst of it.This kind of joy reframes our sorrow, restores our identity, and equips us for endurance. It's not wishful thinking—it's a weapon of spiritual warfare against despair. Whether you feel stuck in shame, worn down by suffering, or simply distant from God, this message will remind you: you are still His, He still rejoices over you, and His joy can be your strength.Joy is not the absence of trouble—it's the presence of God. And that changes everything.Do you know JESUS? https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesusNeed PRAYER? https://www.nbgilmer.org/praySupport through GIVING: https://www.nbbctx.org/giving

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive deep into the profound topic of joy, specifically exploring the biblical truth that "the joy of the Lord is our strength," from Nehemiah 8:10. The inspiration for this discussion came from a poignant conversation I encountered on TikTok between a pastor and a Christian musician, both of whom have experienced the heart-wrenching loss of children. They reflected on the significance of joy as a source of strength, prompting me to consider why God chose joy over other attributes like courage, knowledge, or faith. I also differentiate between joy and happiness in this episode, explaining that joy is a deeper, more sustainable perspective rooted in truth, while happiness is fleeting. I highlight the dangers of hopelessness and how it often stems from lies we believe about our circumstances. By cultivating joy, we can combat hopelessness and maintain an eternal perspective, even in challenging times. Take the next step and join my newsletter list.

Send us a textIn our faced paced culture, happiness is fleeting. Rapidly jumping into something new - stimulating but elusive, leaving one unfulfilled leading to depression. Joy on the other hand is the result of the posture of our heart - a change in perspective, namely gratitude. We can thank our way out of the pit!

Nehemiah was an interestig man whose account is chronicled in the Old Testament book that bears his name. He went from cupbearer to the king to governor of the exiles. He literally got in the trenches to help God's people rebuild the wall of Jerusalem. Then, together with the prophet Ezra and the Levites, Nehemiah reeducated the people, teaching them God's ways. That's when he said, "The joy of the Lord is your strength." We'll examine what that meant for the people of his day and what it means for us today.
