First Baptist Cleveland

Joy was never meant to be automatic.

1. Joy begins when God speaks
2. Joy is anchored in Jesus — Not Feelings

Happiness depends on what happens. Joy depends on Who you trust.

Joy doesn’t come from feelings or circumstances; it comes from Jesus.

Joy isn’t pretending that everything is okay. Joy is trusting that God is still good.

1. Joy begins when God speaks
2. Joy is anchored in Jesus — Not Feelings
3. Joy deepens when we respond to what God reveals

Faith that never moves rarely experiences joy that lasts.

Joy grows when faith moves.

Joy deepens when faith moves.
Joy grows when obedience follows belief.
Joy strengthens when trust becomes action.
