Podcasts about true joy

True Joy overflows, and points The Way to Joy for others.

Do you ever feel like your life has been cursed? You can't get ahead? You can't get a break? Everything goes wrong? In this video I share the reason and the solution. You will become blessed beyond your imagination. 

Pastor Troy continues our Advent series with "Joy".   Biblical Joy can be understood as a deep sense of safety and freedom people feel because of God's character and the choice to trust Him. True Joy will never come from our ability to work it up; it comes from God's ability to work it in.   —— If you want to support what God is doing through Cityline, click here: https://www.citylineonline.churchcenter.com/giving Want to learn more about Cityline and how to get involved?

Senior Pastor Israel Soto brings an encouraging message from the Word of God. The post The True Joy Of Christmas appeared first on Rock of Ages AOG.

A Prayer for True Joy at Christmas by Gina L. SmithChristmas lights are beginning to glow—on rooftops, around trees, in windows—quiet reminders that joy has come. Yet for many, this season doesn’t automatically feel joyful.In today's episode, we explore this very real human experience, God sent light. Not a distraction or a seasonal escape, but a person. Jesus stepped into the darkness of our world—and into the dark places of our lives—bringing a joy that is not fragile, forced, or fake. Joy is not something we manufacture; joy is a person. Joy is Jesus. Reference: John 1:5 Prayer: Father, thank you for stepping into our darkness to bring everlasting joy. Thank you that your presence is light, unchanging, unfading, unstoppable. Help me not to chase temporary happiness, but to cling to you, my joy and my hope. Amen.

True Joy is found in the Kingdom of God!

In this profound and hope-filled Advent message, Pastor Karl continues the Christmas series with an honest, Scripture-saturated exploration of the third great gift Jesus brings: joy. Turning to the familiar yet astonishing encounter in Luke 1:26–38, Pastor Karl places us in the world of a young, powerless Mary—living in obscurity, poverty, and spiritual dryness under Roman oppression—when an angel suddenly declares her “highly favored” and announces she will bear the Son of God as a virgin.With pastoral clarity and compassion, Pastor Karl redefines biblical joy not as a forced smile, fleeting happiness, or denial of pain, but as a deep, settled confidence and calm cheerfulness in God—even when circumstances feel devastating. Mary's potentially ruinous situation (public shame, rejection, and lifelong stigma) becomes the backdrop for a joy that is rooted not in perfect conditions but in surrender to a perfect Savior. Joy, he shows, is not situational; it flows from trusting God's greater reality, His unchanging character, and His presence when clarity is absent.Drawing from Mary's radical response—“Let it be to me according to your word”—Pastor Karl tenderly calls every listener to the same doorway of lasting joy: radical surrender. Whether facing disappointment, health struggles, dashed dreams, or seasons of grief, joy grows when we release control, timelines, and the need to understand, and instead say “Yes, Lord” to whatever He has spoken. This is essential listening for anyone longing to move beyond seasonal happiness into the quiet, resilient cheerfulness that only Christ, born in a manger and risen from an empty tomb, can give.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

True joy isn't fragile happiness, it's a settled gladness rooted in Jesus, often born out of waiting and disappointment. Psalm 98 shows that joy comes when we receive salvation, grows as Christ reigns in our lives, and lasts because God rules with righteousness. Because Jesus is the solution to our deepest brokenness, we can live with unshakable joy and hope, knowing how the story ends.Joy comes when we receive salvationJoy grows where Christ reignsJoy lasts in righteous rulingLife Group Discussion:What's a season or “well” Jesus has pulled you out of, and how does remembering that shape your joy today?Who is someone you know that consistently lives with joy, and what do you notice about how they order their life?How does trusting God with justice and fairness change the way you respond when you're hurt or wronged?

The December 2025 Solstice isn't just another date on a calendar—it marks the next Universal Shift that will change how you experience life, purpose, and your soul connection forever. In Part 86 of The Story of Creation, Michelle Vickers shares advanced knowledge direct from universal beings revealing what humanity was never meant to forget: our connection to the universe was never lost—only hidden. For tens of thousands of years, the truth of human origins, consciousness and evolution were erased and replaced with manipulation, fear, and false beliefs. Time, calendars, systems, and even spirituality were constructed to disconnect you from the universe and from yourself. This episode exposes how that happened—and how the universe has already begun reversing it. Five years ago, the universe made a historic shift from being founded on love to being founded on truth. That transition is now accelerating. You are seeing illusions crumble, systems collapse, and relationships change—not because something is wrong, but because the universe is finally responding to the part of you that has always been searching for spiritual awakening, deeper alignment, and authenticity. Michelle explains how energetic upgrades work, why integration requires a full year, and what the upcoming solstice will activate: the vibration of illumination—the ability to participate in the universe as a universal being, not just a human being. You will learn how universal communication truly works through vibration and energy, not the mind, and why every human is designed with a hypersensitive ability to feel truth directly. If you are tired of illusions… if you are craving truth and depth… if you know there is something more waiting for you… this episode is your confirmation. 🌟 This is the moment your universal connection becomes your meaning for existing. Truth isn't coming—it's already here. 00:00 The Creator's Annual Review of Existence 02:55 No Judgment in Universal Truth 04:10 Humans Need Time to Integrate Upgrades 05:35 Manipulation Through Time & Civilization 07:25 Knowing vs Wisdom: Experience is Required 08:45 Earth Evolves… With or Without Us 10:58 Humanity's True Universal Relationship 11:50 Carrots of Manipulation & False Beliefs 13:10 Why Humans Chose Comfort Over Truth 14:57 Your Energetic Cord to the Universe 17:19 Radio Frequency of Your Soul 19:05 Society's Design to Numb Your Connection 22:15 Every Human is an Empath 25:40 The Universe Shifted from Love to Truth 29:55 The Great Divide: Truth vs Illusion 31:40 What The 2025 Solstice Will Activate 35:52 True Joy & Fulfillment Come From 39:19 Processing Universal Energy 44:29 No One Can Block You 51:05 Smart Watches & Rings Are Messing With Your Energy

1 Thessalonians 5: 15-23https://www.innerworkforspiritualawakening.net/https://www.theosisbooks.net/

Both the pains and the pleasures of this world will fade, so God’s people look through both to find a true and lasting joy.

How do you define joy? Is it the feeling you get after getting a good evaluation at work or a high score in an exam? Or is joy something that comes with a high salary or expensive gifts on your birthday? Maaaring may nararamdaman tayong saya at tuwa sa lahat ng mga ito.

The Path to True Joy (Philippians 3:1-11) - September 21, 2025 by OrlandoGrace

This week Britton walks us through the first part of Philippians 1. We see that a mark of a disciple is true joy and that joy is only found in Christ alone. At Oaks, true joy is found as we do the Great Commission seeking to send disciplemakers of Jesus by being discplemakers of Jesus.

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.

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.

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!
