Praise Series #17 The Joy of the Lord is Your StrengthNehemiah 8:10 “Then he said to them, “Go your way, eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions of them to those for whom nothing is prepared, for this day is holy to our Lord; and do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”Right before this verse, Ezra the priest and scribe had gathered all the people together so he, along with the Levites and the governor, Nehemiah, could read the law of the Lord. All the people wept when they heard the words of the law. This is where our verse for today picks up. “Then he said to them, 'Go your way, eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions of them to those for whom nothing is prepared, for this day is holy to our Lord; and do be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”I decided to go to the Enduring Word Bible Commentary as I wasn't quite sure what this verse meant. I wasn't quite sure why the people were crying when they heard the words of the Law. This is what I found on the Enduring Word Bible Commentary page, “All the people wept, when they heard the words of the Law: The word of God was doing its intended work. 2 Timothy 3:16 tells us two things that the word of God is profitable for: reproof and correction. Sometimes it hurts to be reproved and corrected, and these tears were evidence of some of that pain.b. Do not mourn nor weep: Ezra, Nehemiah, and the Levites did not want the people to mourn, even though it is a good thing to be sad under the conviction of the Holy Spirit through the word of God. Yet if the sense of conviction is greater than the sense that God is doing a good and holy work, then tears are not good.Our knowledge of our sin should never be bigger than our knowledge of Jesus as our Savior. We are great sinners, but He is a greater Savior.Therefore, the joy of the Lord is your strength – even when you are being convicted of sin. When we are convicted of sin we know that God is doing a work in us, so we can be glad and take joy.c. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength: The people felt sad because they were aware of their own sin. But they could walk in joy because God was doing a great work. Our emotions are not beyond our control; we can do God's will even when we don't feel like it.They didn't want the people to be sad because even though they may not have been perfect in carrying out the law, it is ok. God is still with them. Those in charge wanted them to know that it is good to stop everything every now and then and remember the law. It is good to stop and examine your behavior and how you are living, and see if it is in accordance with how God wants you to live. However, if it isn't, they didn't want them to be sad and to focus on how much they were messing up. They wanted the people to focus on how great God is and how, no matter how much we mess up, He can still redeem us.The same is true for us. It is important that we examine our behaviors, the way we live our lives, and how we treat others, to see if we are living according to the Lord's will. Are we following His commandments? Are we loving Him above all else? Are we loving our neighbors as we love ourselves? If we aren't, what should we do? We should bring it to the Lord. We can apologize for getting off course again, and then let Him know how sorry we are, and then we can just try again. God does not expect us to be perfect. He knows we will mess up. He knows we won't always get it right. He is ok with that as long as we always repent and turn back to Him!Let's look at the aspect of joy in this verse. This verse said, “For the joy of the Lord is your strength.” How is the joy of the Lord our strength? In this verse, we can find joy in the Lord because He always redeems us. I love it when it said in the commentary that, “Our knowledge of our sin should never be bigger than our knowledge of Jesus as our Savior. We are great sinners, but He is a greater Savior.” This is such a great reminder that no matter how bad our sin is, our Savior is greater than it. No matter how bad we have messed up, Jesus's sacrifice on the cross still covers it. We can take joy in the fact that there is nothing we can do that is not covered by Jesus's sacrifice. It is ok to be sad that we have hurt our relationship with the Lord. It is ok to be sad that we think we might have let God down. However, we can't stay there. We need to then find the joy that God has given us by sending his son to make up for our sins. God sacrificed His only son so that he could repair the closeness that Adam & Eve lost. This is something we can celebrate. This closeness is something to be joyful over.Another thing I love that the commentary said was, “Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength: The people felt sad because they were aware of their own sin. But they could walk in joy because God was doing a great work. Our emotions are not beyond our control; we can do God's will even when we don't feel like it.” This is something we all need to know. Our emotions are not beyond our control. We get to decide how we feel. In the moment, we can't always control our emotions. For instance, if you see something, you might instantly feel something. For instance, when you see someone acting a certain way, you may get upset. That first reaction/emotion, you may not be able to control. However, you can choose whether to keep feeling that emotion.You get to decide what emotions you are feeling based on what story you are telling yourself. For instance, I could be sad about what is going on with my son right now, or I could be grateful because he is getting the help that he needs. Or I could be both. I get to decide. The same is true for you with whatever you are going through. You get to decide how you will feel. Will you find your strength in the joy of the Lord, or will you wallow in your misery? Will you turn to the Lord and repent, or will you sit in your shame and let it eat at you? The enemy does not want us to know that we get to decide how we will feel. He wants us to just sit there and listen to all he is whispering in our ears about how things won't ever get better. He wants us to believe that if God wanted us healed, he would have done it already. If God wanted to lift us from this place, He would have. The enemy wants us to believe our case is too far gone.The enemy is a liar. He doesn't know what God's plan is any more than we do. He does not realize the importance of our thoughts. If he can persuade us to spend more time worrying about the “what ifs” rather than focusing on the joy of the Lord and all that God can do, he will have won the war for our hearts and minds. He knows that if we're listening to him, we're letting him steal our joy. Joy in the suffering is possible, but only when our focus is on the Lord and all that good He is doing, even if we can't see it. The joy in the Lord is our strength because we can always find joy in the Lord, even when all seems lost. We won't always be happy, but we can always have joy.Dear heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode today. Lord, we love you, and we ask you to be with us in this hard time. Lord, please show us how to have joy in the hard times. Please help us to focus on you and all you are doing for us. Please help us to be grateful in the hard times. Please help us know Jesus's sacrifice was enough to cover all we have done and will ever do. We love you, Lord, and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus's holy name, Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus. I look forward to seeing you again tomorrow. Remember, Jesus loves you just as you are, and so do I!

In this candlelight gathering, we listen to the Christmas story not as a distant memory, but as a living reality. Guided by Luke 2, we are invited to encounter Christ as present with us now—born into ordinary life, shared humanity, and this very moment. Through silence and shared light, we remember that the good news of great joy is still true: peace has come near, and the light multiplies as it is given.

Walking in the Joy of the Lord | Joy to the World Sermon Series | Week 2 | Ps Chris Chipeio by Every Nation Dorado

The Joy of the Lord (10:30am) by Mission Ebenezer Family Church

The Joy of the Lord (8am) by Mission Ebenezer Family Church

In this teaching, we move beyond defining joy and begin learning how to live from it. Joy is not an emotion to manufacture, but the fruit of union with God — the shift from God with us to Christ in us. When joy feels distant, it has not disappeared; our awareness has drifted. This episode is an invitation to return to the deep well, remember you are the joy set before Him, and learn how joy becomes a place we live from in everyday life.

Christmas joy can easily get crowded out by busyness, distractions, and pressure, but the joy God offers is deeper and lasting. In Acts 16, we see how Paul and Silas carried joy even in prison, praying and worshiping God despite their circumstances. Their joy was rooted not in comfort or freedom, but in faith and trust in Jesus. Pastor Kory reminds us that joy is often tested when our focus is pulled away from God. The enemy works subtly through busyness, materialism, and distraction, but prayer and worship keep our hearts aligned with the Lord. As Paul and Silas remained faithful, their joy became a powerful witness that led to salvation for the jailer and his household. True joy is found in believing in Jesus Christ. When we place our faith in Him, our lives are transformed, chains are broken, and joy overflows. This Advent, God invites us to awaken to the joy that comes from salvation, devotion to prayer and worship, and a life centered on Jesus. Is your joy rooted in circumstances, or in your faith in Christ?

Joy isn't optional, it's supernatural strength. In this uplifting message, Pastor Corey Erman shares why the joy of the Lord is essential for victory, endurance, and spiritual breakthrough. When joy rises, heaviness breaks and faith comes alive. “The joy of the Lord is your strength.” - Nehemiah 8:10To support this ministry and help us reach the nations with revival visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠RiverWPB.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or text GIVE and any amount to (855) 968-3708.

"Joy is an emotion that's acquired by the anticipation, acquisition, or even the expectation of something great or wonderful." Lighting the second candle of Advent--Joy, guest speaker Pastor Lee Cummings brings a message on the power of joy and how we can live daily in the joy of the Lord.

In this discussion with the JOYLAND Community, we explore what biblical joy truly is — and what it is not. Joy is not cheerfulness, hype, or pretending everything is okay. Scripture reveals that joy flows from God’s nearness. At the birth of Jesus, heaven announced “good news of great joy,” because God had drawn near to humanity in a whole new way. Even before Jesus was born, joy leapt in Elizabeth’s womb, and when the Magi saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. These moments show us that joy is the natural response to the presence of God. We also uncover a deeper truth from Hebrews 12:2 — that we are the joy set before Jesus, the reason He came. This episode reframes joy as God’s delight in us, a strength that remains even in sorrow, and the quiet confidence of knowing that we are not alone.

What does the Word of God do? It both convicts us and strengthens us to follow the Lord with joy.

The Joy of the Lord is Your Strength - Pastor Jonathan Simons

Life Pleasing in Christ

Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Today, Bob Wilkin and Sam Marr are answering a question about joy. Nehemiah said, “The joy of the Lord is your strength…” What is “the joy of the Lord?” How do I get the joy of the Lord? What if I don't feel this joy for a long

Join Gina and Erica as they talk through what it means to have the Joy of the Lord, and how to tangibly walk it out as believers. 

Through a new decree that was passed, the Jews are able to defend themselves and find victory against Haman's evil plot. They then inaugurate the Feast of Purim as a celebration and remembrance of God's deliverance. Although we do not celebrate Purim, we have a greater joy, a greater victory, a greater understanding of God's deliverance under the New Covenant in the act of communion. Therefore, we can live from a place of strength and victory and know joy and celebration even in a world of despair and chaos.

This is September 21st's exhortation calling you to rejoice in the Lord who is our eternal, indestructible, and invincible strength. Gage Crowder is husband to Rachel and father to Kyper and Binx.

We exchange our joy for the Lord's

In this follow-up message on Nehemiah 8:10, we dive deeper into what it truly means for “the joy of the Lord” to be our strength—especially in seasons of sorrow and grief. Unpacking the original Hebrew, we discover that God's joy over us is meant to be our stronghold and refuge, not just a fleeting feeling. But we also ask: is it ever okay to grieve? Looking at the example of Jesus, the biblical call to mourn with those who mourn, and real stories of persecuted believers, we see that God meets us in both joy and sorrow. Whether you're celebrating or facing heartbreak, this sermon will encourage you that God's joy is your place of safety, and that honest grieving has its place in the Christian life. Join us as we learn how to find hope, strength, and even joy in the presence of God—no matter what season we're in.

In this message from our “In Context” series, we unpack the true meaning behind the well-loved phrase, “the joy of the Lord is your strength” from Nehemiah 8:10. Often quoted as a personal encouragement, this verse is even better when you realize the context. This verse is about the Israelites returning from exile, hearing God's law, and feeling overwhelmed by their failures. Instead of calling them to mourn, Nehemiah commands them to celebrate together in God's presence—revealing that the joy found in communal celebration, brings real spiritual strength. Whether you're battling discouragement or craving deeper joy, discover how coming together to worship can renew your heart and empower you to keep going, no matter the challenges you face.

“Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our LORD: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.” (
