Are You Full of Joy?


Message Text: John 3:22-30

Are You Full of Joy? – John 3:22-30

Shiloh Baptist Church, February 5th 2017

John the Baptist said, “…this joy of mine has been made full.”  It seems clear, therefore, we have in this text a biblical way to satisfaction in life; a satisfaction greater even than temporary happiness.  Would it not be wise to see God’s answer to the question: How can I be happy?

A Biblical Way to Find Joy in Life

  1. Your joy is found in intentionally fulfilling the job God has assigned to you using God’s power, but while realizing your time to do this is limited. (3.27 and 3.29)
  2. Your joy is found in intentionally pointing others to Jesus using God’s power, but while also releasing your agenda to Christ (3.28 and 3.30)

As a Christ-follower are you willing to pray right now this prayer?  “Dear Lord, today I am ready to decrease because I want You to increase through me.  Please help me to faithfully do this.”
