In this message from Philippians 1, we discover that true joy doesn't come from circumstances but from allegiance to Jesus. Paul is in prison, telling this church that every time he thinks about them he is thankful and prays for them with such joy. Joy was not a by-product. Joy was their form of resistance and strength. That same joy is available to us today.

Can I Really Be Happy | Summer of Psalms This message from Psalm 1 explores what it means to live a truly blessed and joyful life. We're reminded that happiness isn't something we chase—it's something we grow when we're rooted in truth. Learn how meditating on God's Word and anchoring your life in His presence creates a foundation for joy in every season. Key Insights: 1. Happiness isn't circumstantial—it's rooted in a relationship with God through His Word. 2. When we delight in God's truth, we develop joy that sustains us through all seasons. 3. True freedom isn't about doing whatever we want—it's about being anchored to our Creator. 4. Your thoughts, behaviors, and closest influences shape your joy more than your situation does. 5. Lasting happiness grows when we engage with God's Word and God's people consistently. Scripture Focus: Psalms 1 (https://www.bible.com/bible/111/PSA.1.NIV) Speaker: Matt Petty Series: Summer of Psalms Location: Burnt Hickory Baptist Church (https://maps.app.goo.gl/hazkR3omjk9xvxZc7) Connect with us: ° Watch this sermon on YouTube (https://youtu.be/jhKQeXi2KVA) ° Follow us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/bhbchome) ° Follow us on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/burnthickorybaptist/) ° Visit our website (https://www.burnthickory.com/)

In Week 1 of our new series How to Find Joy, Maddie Brown is going to help us explore What True Joy Really Is through the lens of Philippians. Paul, writing from prison, shows us that joy isn't a fleeting feeling tied to circumstances—it's a choice, a response to God's purpose, and something we discover through serving others. As we kick off this journey, we're challenged to stop chasing happiness and instead embrace the deep, lasting joy that only God can provide.

Psalm 126 paints a vivid picture of joy rising out of sorrow. It recalls the Israelites' return from exile, a moment of divine restoration that reflects our own journey with God. As they remembered what He had done, their mouths were filled with laughter, and hope was reignited. This act of remembering is not just nostalgic; it's a spiritual practice that fuels endurance. We're called to sow in tears, remaining faithful in seasons of struggle, trusting that God is cultivating something deeper. Pastor Kevin Myers points out that the life of faith is a steady ascent one that shapes us through every high and low. As we walk this path in community, we learn to ask boldly, trust deeply, and anticipate the harvest of joy that God promises.

Send us a textIn the final message of our Rhythms series, we turn to a spiritual practice that radically reshapes our hearts and habits: generosity. Based on 2 Corinthians 9:6–15, Pastor Jono unpacks how the full life Jesus invites us into isn't found in what we keep, but in what we give. In this message, we'll explore:   *  The Myth of More — why culture says more = happiness, but Jesus says giving = joy.   *  The Power of Giving — how generosity rewires our hearts and breaks greed's grip.   *. What it means to live open-handed — and how to cultivate generosity in daily life.This isn't about guilt — it's about freedom. Learn how simplicity and generosity form a rhythm that can reshape your soul and reflect the heart of God.

For 22 May 2025, Thursday of the 5th week of Easter, based on John 15:9-11

We are not emperors. We are not senators. But we are human beings, connected to all other human beings.

This week, we’ll be in John 3:22–30, where John the Baptist gives us a powerful example of what it means to find joy in becoming less so that Christ may become more. In a world that often tells us to seek recognition and status, we’ll be reminded that true joy is found not in making much of ourselves, but in making much of Jesus.

What if we're all chasing happiness when what we really need is something deeper? If you're tired of counting down the minutes or feeling your good vibes slip away as soon as the next stressor hits, this episode is for you. I recently soaked up the energy of Rio's Carnaval—where music, movement, and a massive sense of shared purpose create one giant “dopamine menu” of fun—and it made me realize how much we overlook genuine joy. In this solo episode, I'm breaking down why a focus on joy can be the key to true fulfillment, rather than constantly hunting for those fleeting bursts of happiness. Here's a taste of what we'll explore: Why Joy Beats Happiness – Discover the difference between quick-fix emotional highs and a deeper sense of contentment that actually fuels your long-term well-being. Reframing Your Perspective – Learn how to shift your mindset, open up to new possibilities (Carnaval-style!), and find those spark moments in your everyday life. Owning Your Time (and Your Dopamine!) – Feeling “time-poor”? We'll talk about transforming your schedule into a personalized “dopamine menu” filled with purposeful actions that keep you energized and genuinely fulfilled.

This Tuesday, don't miss a special highlight episode as we gear up for an unforgettable conversation dropping this Thursday.Secret sin is an oxymoron—there is no such thing. Every sin, even those we think are hidden, is exposed before God. Today, Ray, Mark, and Oscar talk about lust, particularly pornography, and how it plagues many, with statistics revealing that 7 out of 10 men and 2 out of 10 women are caught in this so-called secret sin. Society often normalizes pornography, but it is a trap that ensnares and destroys. Many wrongly think that once they get married, their sin won't plague them anymore, but sin doesn't disappear with marriage; it must be addressed and defeated now, or it will continue to control you.Lust offers fleeting pleasure but leaves lasting damage. It distorts intimacy, leading individuals to compare their spouses to unrealistic fantasies. God's laws do not withhold joy but invite us into a fuller, joy-filled life. As science confirms, pornography sets people up for relational failure. When you indulge in sin, it's like removing the batteries from a smoke detector—complacency blinds you to the danger. Sin desires to have you, but God's grace is always available. Mark emphasizes the importance of addressing sexual sin openly and honestly with children and their significant others. Shying away from these conversations does more harm than good. Similarly, Ray, in his evangelism, confronts this issue by calling people to repentance. Lust is not something to struggle with but to reject outright.Scripture shows the seriousness of sin. Lust is equated with adultery in the heart, and sin will take you further than you want to go. It is a lion crouching at your door, ready to devour. David's sin with Bathsheba began with a look, proving that flirting with sin leads to destruction. You must hide God's Word in your heart and instill the fear of the Lord. When secret sin comes to light, the Bible provides the way to healing. Confess your sins to a trusted pastor, brother, or sister in Christ. True repentance comes from a love for God that expels false loves. Emotional maturity requires humility to confess and turn to Christ. Repentance isn't about avoiding consequences but aligning with God's love and experiencing His transforming power.If you're struggling with lust or pornography, take action. Quote scripture out loud, flee from temptation, and seek accountability. God grants repentance and offers freedom through confession. Though uncomfortable, confession brings healing and restoration. God sees you as precious and desires your repentance and renewal. Turn from sin, embrace His love, and live in the freedom Send us a textThanks for listening!

True Joy (Philippians 4:4)

Segment 1: • True Joy in Christ: Your flesh will always desire its own way, but God's way is better. • DA Carson's Legacy: Retiring as he battles Parkinson's, his life reminds us to persevere in faith. • Self-Denial = True Development: Following Christ means denying yourself—not as a loss, but as the best way to flourish. Segment 2: • A Nation in Decline: Falling birthrates and rising youth suicide rates signal deep dissatisfaction. • Christianity's Response: The gospel doesn't change—God has you here for a reason, and true hope is found in Him. • Feminism is Loud, the Church is Silent: Why aren't we preaching the joys of marriage, family, and biblical living? Segment 3: • Supreme Court Debate: Justice Alito questions whether transgenderism is truly immutable—where's the evidence? • Culture in Freefall: Satanic prayers at city council meetings, AI-driven megachurch sermons, and growing moral confusion. • Meanwhile, the Church Sits Silent: With Jordan Peterson attracting young men in droves, why aren't pastors leading the charge? Segment 4: • AI and the Church: Technology is advancing, but does it truly serve us, or are we outsourcing too much? • The Environmentalist Religion: A worldview out of balance—Christianity offers a better way to care for creation. • Biblical Wisdom for Today: The Bible explains everything we see unfolding—are we paying attention? ___ Thanks for listening!

Join a transformative conversation with Grace Harry, the Joy Alchemist, as she redefines joy as a heartfelt communication rather than mere positivity. Grace reveals the importance of feeling deeply, rather than thinking our way through life, and how reconnecting with our emotions unlocks a true sense of joy.

From limiting digital distractions to embracing gratitude in small moments, Grace's approach challenges us to become “Chief Energy Officers” of our own lives. She even offers a powerful nighttime technique for cultivating joy, helping us carry it into each new day. Grace's insights empower us to nurture our joy and build lives that feel richly aligned and deeply fulfilling. Grace Harry is an artist, entrepreneur, creative muse, pleasure instigator, and speaker.
