Joy Comes in The Morning: Blue Christmas 2025
This sermon addresses the difficult reality of experiencing grief during the Christmas season, particularly focusing on how believers can find genuine joy even in the midst of deep sorrow. Multiple speakers share personal testimonies of loss—including the death of a spouse, children, and siblings—while emphasizing that joy is not the absence of pain but the presence of God's peace and comfort. The message centers on the promise that "weeping may last through the night, but joy comes in the morning," encouraging believers to trust God through dark seasons, remain content in His presence, and find hope in His faithfulness. The sermon emphasizes the importance of Christian community, honest worship, the ministry of the Holy Spirit as Comforter, and the practice of thankfulness as pathways through grief.
