The Difference Between Joy and Happiness

A lot of us think joy is the same thing as happiness. We often use these words interchangeably. But, from the Christian perspective, there’s actually a big difference. Happiness depends on external things going well: getting a new job, eating a delicious meal, walking along the beach holding hands with your sweetheart. But for the Christian, joy, unlike happiness, isn’t a temporary emotion. Joy is confidence in God, and it’s something that no circumstance or person can take away. That’s a huge difference!
Did you know that even suffering and joy can coexist side-by-side? Because sooner or later, we will experience suffering, and our hearts will ache, but we will still have the joy of Jesus.
Watch this message from Pastor Cuyler Black and discover how you can experience joy in your own life!

I was here for this message.. disappointing, this was a “feel good” or “motivational” message. I will give the church another try. Hoping the next message I attend is actually teaching the Bible. I’m just saying. Quoting verses isn’t preaching.
