His Holiness delivered\u00a0a sermon\u00a0about “joy”<\/span><\/h2>\n

First: concept of joy:”Count it all joy when you fall into various trials” Joy is to receive this invitation “Enter into the joy of your lord” If you live with this concept you will only by happy.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Ask with\u00a0faith .. .. take with patience .. ..\u00a0so that your\u00a0\u00a0joy may be complete.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Second: the elements of a life of joy:<\/span>
\n1. Jesus, in the Bible.<\/span>
\n2. Jesus, in the church.<\/span>
\n3. Jesus, in eternity (completed joy).<\/span><\/h2>\n

Third: how to live a life of joy<\/span>
\nThrough Psalm 122, “I was glad when they said to me,
\n\u201cLet us go into the house of the Lord”<\/span>
\nJoy is one of the\u00a0Holy Spirit fruits.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Fourth: rejected\u00a0manifestations of joy, including:<\/span>
\n1. Jonah joy with the pumpkin<\/span>
\n2. Suleiman joy with his money<\/span>
\n3-eldest son in the example of prodigal son as he refused to joy in a time of joy he asked (grief)<\/span>
\n4. The joy of taking out the demons “Do not rejoice that the demons yield\u00a0to us”<\/span>
\n5. Joy for others trouble and gloat.<\/span>
\nThis are\u00a0fake and false joy.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Fifth: the real joy<\/span>
\nGo to the house of God, and the joy of repentance and tribulations.<\/span>
\n1. repentance.<\/span>
\n2. satisfaction.<\/span>
\n3. open service and leaving\u00a0selfishness.<\/span><\/h2>\n
