Joy as a Mark of the Church: How to know Joy

Following last week's sermon on The Joy of Christ (from Jesus' miracle of water into wine at a wedding), we now look at Joy as a mark of the church (and individual Christian). From the foundation of Jesus' High Priestly prayer of John 17, where Jesus prays that His joy would fill His people, we see three main ways to experience joy in the Christian life.

I. Mind Settled on God in Christ
II. Fellowship with God (and His people) through Christ
III. Holy Life for God by Christ

Along the way, we are able to see Christ's joy as an example and encouragement to us to know His joy.
