Advent: Joy | Week Three | Psalm 126 | December 14th, 2025

This week, Adam explores Christian joy through Psalm 126, showing that true joy is not constant cheerfulness but a deep, God-rooted contentment that can coexist with suffering and longing. Drawing on the Advent tension of the “Already and Not Yet,” it invites believers to cultivate joy by remembering and celebrating what God has already done, while honestly lamenting and praying for what God has not yet made whole. Ultimately, joy is presented as a fruit of the Spirit that grows as we intentionally live between gratitude for God’s past faithfulness and hopeful trust in his future restoration.
