Joy: God’s Fingerprints

Speaker:
Series:
Passage: Galatians 5:22-23, Habakkuk 1:1-4, Habakkuk 3:18-19
Service Type:

The second Fruit of the Spirit is joy. Joy isn't happiness. It isn't based on circumstances. It is the sense of delight that arises within us in the presence of someone or something we love. Joy is an attitude and a choice. We'll see how a prophet named Habakkuk found joy.
