What is the greatest joy you can imagine?
“I would be joyful if __________.” (How do YOU fill in the blank?)
What is your greatest struggle with joy?
When you think of Jesus… do you think of joy?
Cultivate Jesus’ joy by the power of the Holy Spirit!

Hope is a basis for joy!
Jesus’ resurrection and our salvation anchor us!
- From hopeless to hope-filled
- Awaiting our glorious inheritance
- With confidence in God’s mercy and power
- Praise in every trial 6-7
Purpose is a basis for joy!
God’s purpose is not thwarted by trials, but accomplished through them!
It is a privilege to suffer with Jesus! (Romans 8:17-18, Acts 5:41)
Grief may coexist with joy but cannot steal joy! (John 16:22)
Do I set my thinking on what is praiseworthy? (Philippians 4:8)
- Grow in genuine faith 7-9
Growth is a basis for joy!
Trials are fertile soil for the Holy Spirit to grow us. (James 1:2-4, Romans 5:3-5)
What do trials reveal of your inner character – works of the flesh, or the fruit of the Spirit?
Do you value your faith as precious – because of the One you trust?
