2025-Feb-23 ⎮ JOHN - A Love Story ⎮ Ways to Live Your Life ⎮ The Way of Joy - Week 5 by Hillcrest Covenant Church

In this message, Paul Maughan unpacks the joy of being led by the Spirit of God. As Romans 8:14-17 reminds us, we are not slaves to fear but adopted as God's children, heirs with Christ. Discover how the Spirit's guidance brings freedom, assurance, and deep joy in our walk with God.

This week, Kyle Peters reminds us that God is, above all, a Father—relational, life-giving, and full of love. Through the Spirit, we're invited into a relationship with Him, a Father who not only loves us but enjoys us. Discover the joy of being known and loved by God.

This week, Paul Maughan kicks off the Defiant Joy series by exploring Psalm 16:11, showing that true joy is found in God's presence. But this joy doesn't come easily—it takes a determined effort to seek Him amidst life's distractions. Be encouraged to draw closer to God and find the lasting joy He promises.

Season of Surrender

Speaker: Brandon Caudill Series: Grateful Joy

Luke 2:8-11 8 And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. 10 And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

Mark 16:15  15 And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. Matthew 28:18-20 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[b] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Psalm 23:5

2 Corinthians 9:7  7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. Matthew 25:35-40 35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.' 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?'40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers,[f] you did it to me.'

As we consider joy during Advent we ask why don't we experience it more here on earth. Our guest this week, Paul Robie, says Christians should be the most joyful people on the planet. We have the Good News to direct our steps and our spirits. This wrestling with joy is likely why joy is an Advent theme since the beginning of Advent themes. We can collectively consider what it means to hold joy in our lives. We can also encourage each other in the practical ways we can cultivate it. Paul is a lifelong pastor, current church consultant, and mentor to seminary students. Practices of faith and how they form us are what he talks about all day long and we get the benefit of his wisdom in this series. Whether you are wondering why others aren't more joyful, or wanting to experience joy this Advent and in the new year, this episode is for you.

 ​​Luke 2:1-7 2 In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. 2 This was the first registration when[a] Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3 And all went to be registered, each to his own town. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, 5 to be registered with Mary, his betrothed,[b] who was with child. 6 And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. 7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn

This week, we are reflecting on the third advent candle: Joy. The word advent means “coming” or “arrival” and speaks of Jesus' arrival that first Christmas morning in Bethlehem. The season of Advent is a time when we joyously and prayerfully anticipate the celebration of Jesus' first coming. And, we look forward to His second coming, while also affirming that He is present in the world today offering His redeeming love to anyone who will simply receive it. One of the most beautiful symbols of the Advent season is the traditional Advent wreath. This Advent wreath is intended to help us keep our focus on the real reason for the season – the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Each Sunday leading up to Christmas, we will be talking about a different candle – representing, in order, hope, peace, joy, and love – although we usually light these candles in our homes, we obviously can't do that on the podcast, but we will still talk about the candles as a way to remember each week in the advent season. So join us for these 4 Advent weeks and then the final episode on Christmas Day as we set time to focus our eyes, minds, and hearts on Jesus – the true reason for the season.
