The Fruit of the Spirit: Joy

This sermon examines the fruit of the Spirit, emphasizing joy as a key Christian witness per Galatians 5. Joy, a divine command, stems from the Holy Spirit and Jesus, the source of unshakable joy (Psalm 16:11, John 15:11), not worldly circumstances. Rooted in Christ’s grace, this joy testifies to others, reflecting God’s grace amid suffering, as Spurgeon said, a Christian’s life is their best sermon. If lacking joy, we must repent and root ourselves in Jesus, the living water, for true joy.
