The Advent of Joy

Dec 21, 2025    Thomas Cornette

In the fourth message of our ADVENT sermon series, “The Advent of Joy,” Pastor Thomas Cornette explores the difference between happiness and true, biblical joy.


Happiness is often tied to circumstances and can disappear in a moment—but joy is resilient. It endures through pain, disappointment, and uncertainty because it is rooted in who God is and what He has done. In this message, we are reminded to look back on God’s faithfulness, bring our heart’s desires honestly before Him, and hold fast to the hope He promises for the future. As we do, our joy is not diminished—it deepens.


As we prepare our hearts during the Advent season, this sermon invites us to rediscover a joy that cannot be taken away—a joy found in Christ alone.
