Christian joy rests not on circumstances but on the Lord Himself.
About this message
Paul writes to a young church in Thessalonica that received the word in much affliction, and tells them to rejoice always. Vasiliy Tkachev preaches on those two words of 1 Thessalonians 5:16. He describes Christian joy as a Spirit-given sense of well-being grounded in the Lord, names what robs us of it, such as spiritual starvation, distraction and a passive mind, and shows how joy and sorrow can live together.
For anyone who finds it hard to rejoice in a hard season.
