Joy Inexpressible
(1 Peter 1:8)
Pastor David Son
I. Heaven will be our greatest joy
II. Joy is a state of being, not an emotion
Ability to rejoice, regardless of circumstances
III. Joy of salvation
Worship should be an expression of joy
King David’s repentance
Fruit of the Spirit
IV. Joy in suffering
Not unique for Christians
But also relative to all Christians
Cannot have joy with unforgiveness
We can suffer because Christ suffered for us
V. Joy in serving
Jesus came not to be served but to serve
Zaccheus as a joyful servant
Paul’s joy in those he serves
VI. Purpose of joy?
VII. Joy comes through revival
VIII. Application Questions
What emotions do you feel when you think about heaven? Why do you think that is the case?
What is keeping you from experiencing joy of salvation?
What is your greatest hindrance from rejoicing when underoing various trials?
What would it take for you to find joy in serving others?
Have you ever experienced joy inexpressible? Share that moment with a fellow Christian brother or sister.
