Overcoming Fear Through the Joy of Jesus | Ken McIntyre

Hope City Church

Learn how to prepare your heart this Advent season to experience the fullness of joy in Christ. This week, Pastor Ken shares the message of joy from Luke 2:1-11. The angels’ announcement to the shepherds was good news of great joy for all people. Discover how the birth of Jesus turns fear into joy and why true joy is found in the presence of God.
Challenge of the Week: Each day, take a moment to reflect on a specific area of your life where fear has taken root. Write it down and pray for God’s presence to replace that fear with joy. Share your journey with a friend or on social media using #AdventJoyChallenge and tag us to join the conversation.
