Joy

Pastor Ty Neal

“The disappointment, brokenness, suffering, and pain that characterize life in this present world is held in dynamic tension with the promise of future glory that is yet to come. In that Advent tension, the church lives its life.”

Fleming Rutledge

John 16:16-21
John 16:20
Hebrews 12:2

“The soul would have no rainbow if the eye had no tears.”

Native American Proverb, as quoted by John Piper

“If, in suffering, we ask why this is happening, we might not find an answer. But if we change the question to how we can glorify God in this suffering, we’ll find an answer.”

John 16:22-24
John 16:20

“Look up, you whose gaze is fixed on this earth, who are spellbound by the little events and changes on the face of the earth. Look up to these words, you who have turned away from heaven disappointed. Look up, you whose eyes are heavy with tears and who are heavy and who are crying over the fact that the earth has gracelessly torn us away. Look up, you who, burdened with guilt, cannot lift your eyes. Look up, your redemption is drawing near. something different from what you see daily will happen. Just be aware, be watchful, wait just another short moment. Wait and something quite new will break over you: God will come.”

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Psalm 16:11
Revelation 21:3-5

Jesus, save the lost and guide the saved.
