Luke 1:41 – Luke 2:12 – Luke 18:15-
3. Elizabeth was the first believer in the Gospel.
C. Our Christmas Challenge
1. How urgent is Jesus in your life?
2. Do you see every hardship as an opportunity for praise??
2. What is joy dependent on in your life?
The difference between happiness and joy:
1. Joy doesn’t need a smile to exist.
2. Joy is of the soul. Happiness is of the moment.
3. Joy transcends. Happiness reacts.
4. Joy runs deep and overflows, while happiness hugs hello.
5. Joy is present inside everyone as an untapped reservoir of potential.
6. Joy endures hardship and trials and connects with meaning and purpose.
