Today Jack is going to light these three candles.

I hope ghandour love candle but the days are Joy.

Alright how's your joy? Do you have?

It is your joy in your life.

God wants us to have joy.

He never promised us to get rid of our sorrows.

He did promise that we would have them right in this world will be tribulations, heartaches and hardship, that sounds like sorrow, right?

But you said, be of good cheer.

I have overcome the world and he overcomes the World by transforming our sorrows into Joy.

Not removing our sorrows, that's always going to be a part of our life.

Just like her mother has pain and sorrow in childbirth, but after that childbirth is over.

Guess, what comes Joy right now?

That's sorrow.

Later in life, right?

And they do that as well.

But even with that sorrow, there still Joy, till today.

Jack, as we light these three candles, you can help me with this, right?

My pension your finger.

Let's pray and ask God to give us the joy that we desire and need father, we thank you, we.

Thank you for this Christmas season that we can recognize the importance of the birth of Jesus recognize the joy that he wants us to have father.

I pray that everyone here this morning has that Joy.

I pray that they do not allow the things of the world to steal that Joy away.

Loud.

Jesus to give them the joy that he desires to have a joy that's unspeakable full of Glory.

We give the praise and honor in Jesus name we pray.

Amen.

Thank you.

Jack.

This morning, if you have your Bibles turn with me to Little John chapter 16.

In John chapter, 16 we will be there in a minute but the first I'm going to have you look at some or I'm going to read to you.

Don't nobody to be on the screen.

Psalm 16:11.

Where the song that says this about Joy.

So, you will show me the path of life in your presence is fullness of joy at your right.

Hand are pleasures.

Evermore.

Play the song that says Lord, you will show me the path of life.

Have you allowed God to show you the path of life that before I get too deep into this?

It is warm up here.

So if you're hot feel free, if you buy it, when do feel free to open the windows.

The heat was at 65 this morning when I came in.

And then all those people that come in the early service all hot air people, I'm sure it had nothing to do with anything.

I had to say but it gets warm in here.

It's probably about 75 back there now.

So feel free if you can open the windows, do that.

If not, if you're too cold, that's okay.

We open them up here.

Just get a cross Breeze because if I open them elsewhere, people close them on me, just saying So I'll leave that up to you.

You going to do what you want to do anyway, man.

Because you have joy.

Enjoying freedom to do in this passage this morning.

You will show me the path of life.

In your presence, is fullness of joy.

Can you say that's true in your life is God showing you the path of life is there joy in his present?

Is there is fullness of joy in his presence.

At your right hand are pleasures.

Forevermore.

John chapter 16, Jesus is talking to his disciples, he's having a discussion with him about his going away, infection John chapter 14, we know that he's talking to them saying, hey in my father's house are many mansions if it were not so I would have told you I go to prepare a place for you.

Thomas is in there.

He's listening to that at that point in time and John chapter 14 in Thomas's Lord.

We don't know where you're going.

How can we know the way?

Why would Thomas not know where Jesus is going?

I can tell you why.

That is because he wasn't listening.

He wasn't listening as he spent time with Jesus, to what he was safe because that's when the message.

All along, Jesus was going to go to the Cross.

He was to be crucified for you and for me, that whoever would put their faith and trust in him would believe because of that shed blood.

and as he rose the third day from that tomb, he went to the father and then he goes out to see those around him.

To prove himself to those who were there.

He's there with them.

Are you saying the Thomas?

I'm going to go away and Thompson or we don't know where you're going.

How can we know the way in what Jesus has the Thomas and verse 6 of John chapter 14?

He says I am the way the truth and the life.

No man comes to the father except through me.

Jesus is truth and if his word is truth, when he says that no man comes to the father, except through me.

What does that mean?

The only way to get to heaven is how through Jesus.

The only way to get into the presence of God is through Jesus.

So I want you to understand that as he's talking here in John chapter 16 and he saying to the disciple tape, I'm going to go away but I'm going to come again and later says, hey if you pray in my name, the father will hear you.

The only way the father can hear it is through his son.

Jesus Christ, Melissa read.

This passage this morning and see what God has for us when we talked about Joy.

John 16:16 a little while and you will not see me.

And again, a little while and you will see me because I go to the father, then some of his disciples said themselves.

What is this?

That he says to us a little while, and you will not see me again a little while and you will see me because I go to the father, They said, they're for what is this?

That he says a little while.

We do not know.

What are you saying?

Now, Jesus knew that they were that they desired to ask him and he said to them.

Are you inquiring among yourselves about what I said, a little while and you will not see me.

And again, a little while and you will see me Most assuredly, I say to you, that you will weep and lament but the world will rejoice, you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into Joy.

A woman when she is in labor, has sorrow because of her hour has come.

But as soon as she has given birth to a child, she no longer remembers the anguish for the joy that a human being has been born into the world.

Therefore you now have sorrow, but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice in your jaw.

No one will take from you and then that day, you will ask me nothing.

Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask in the father, ask the father in my name, he will give you until now, you have asked nothing in my name, ask and you will receive that your joy may be full.

What fulfills your joy today?
