Episode 2

Life on the Vine (Joy)

Why does it seem like so many people are searching for happiness but struggling to find joy?

In Part 2 of the Life on the Vine series, Dr. Gregg Marutzky explores joy as a fruit of the Spirit and why it differs from the temporary happiness our culture often pursues. Drawing from Galatians 5 and John 15, this message examines how gratitude, contentment, meaningful relationships, and serving others contribute to lasting joy, while anxiety, comparison, consumerism, and constant dissatisfaction slowly erode it.

Along the way, Gregg shares personal stories, practical insights, and biblical wisdom on cultivating a life marked by joy rather than merely chasing moments of happiness.

Whether you're navigating a difficult season or simply wondering why fulfillment can feel so elusive, this message offers a refreshing perspective on where lasting joy is found.

Speaker:

Dr. Gregg Marutzky:

2

:

Happy Sunday, church Happy Sunday.

3

:

It's good to have you here today, and,

uh, especially as we, uh, begin, uh,

4

:

this second, uh, installment of this

new series entitled Life on the Vine.

5

:

I'm excited to, uh, share it with you,

and I, I better be because it's about joy.

6

:

Yeah.

7

:

All right?

8

:

And, uh, you know, I, I, I've

been thinking about joy all week.

9

:

In, in fact, I'll share a little

bit with you about my process of

10

:

getting excited about this sermon.

11

:

First, I thought about

what makes me joyful.

12

:

Right.

13

:

And I thought, "Well, what

candy bar makes me joyful?"

14

:

Almond Joy.

15

:

Almond Joy, you got it, Sam.

16

:

You're…

17

:

There's such a connection.

18

:

A couple more.

19

:

Cicero, "Friendship improves happiness,

abates misery, by the doubling of our

20

:

joy and the dividing of our grief."

21

:

A great preacher, Henry Ward

Beecher, "The sun does not shine

22

:

for a few trees and flowers

23

:

Yes, Lewis.

24

:

Joy is a serious business

25

:

Bibles, uh, if you will, over to

Galatians chapter 5, our theme verse

26

:

To, uh, purchase the

book if you'd like to.

27

:

This is a bur- book that I'm referencing

as I'm preparing for these sermons.

28

:

It's a, it's a great book.

29

:

It really

30

:

society.

31

:

And today especially, we're gonna

talk about how it's difficult to

32

:

be joyful in a society that is so

full of advertising telling us we're

33

:

not content and we need something

34

:

Born again, raised from

the water of baptism.

35

:

We have the, the Spirit within us, for

the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy

36

:

self-control and against

such things, there's no law,

37

:

there's no boundary, there's no

38

:

Want to live on the vine, don't you?

39

:

Yeah.

40

:

Life on the vine is a life of love

and joy and peace and all the fruits

41

:

of the Spirit, and oh, what the world

needs now- Yeah … is the Spirit.

42

:

Yeah.

43

:

Amen?

44

:

Write a song about that,

will you, somebody?

45

:

I'm not a song leader, but it's got to

replace what the world needs now is love.

46

:

That's a good song, too, but what

they really need is the ability to

47

:

love, the Holy Spirit within them.

48

:

Amen?

49

:

Amen.

50

:

And I just put up this slide 'cause it's

about joy, and I can't jump anymore,

51

:

and so, uh, gonna let them jump for me.

52

:

Amen?

53

:

No, I can jump, but

somethin' might happen.

54

:

Don't laugh at me.

55

:

Don't…

56

:

You'll get there s- there someday too

57

:

Today, we're gonna talk

about the heart some more.

58

:

One of the greatest compliments people

have given me is, "Greg, you're heartsy."

59

:

Well, that's better

than being non-heartsy.

60

:

All right?

61

:

I think it was before I got, uh,

educated in more, uh, depth in my

62

:

lessons and sermons, they thought, "Well,

at least you're sincere," you know?

63

:

But I think it's a good quality to be

heartsy, to let your heart be out there,

64

:

to, to help people to feel what you feel.

65

:

And I want, uh, this series to

be more than just information

66

:

and more than just, uh, truth.

67

:

I want us to feel God's love for us.

68

:

I want us to feel God's joy over

us, especially today, and His

69

:

peace and His patience, et cetera.

70

:

Amen.

71

:

Max Lucado, he's a friend of mine.

72

:

I know Max.

73

:

Uh, he's, uh, from the same school

I went to and even teach at,

74

:

Abilene Christian University, and,

uh, he's a graduate from there.

75

:

We met at a conference in

Manaus, Brazil, in the Amazon.

76

:

Uh, our rooms were right across from

each other at a conference, and we

77

:

became friends before he wrote any books.

78

:

All right?

79

:

In fact, he gave me a, a copy at that

conference of his first book, On the

80

:

Anvil, and it's not that popular.

81

:

Not that many people read that one.

82

:

The second one was the one that,

uh, everybody, uh, uh, loved,

83

:

the, the, the one On the Cross.

84

:

But he says, "I choose joy because I will

refuse to see any problem as anything

85

:

less than an opportunity to see God."

86

:

Amen.

87

:

There's times I can reframe my mind

and my emotions and feel that way, but

88

:

that's a higher calling for me, to not

see problems as problems, you know?

89

:

We moved into this, uh, new house, and

they just don't have very good closets.

90

:

We put my suits up, which I

never wear anymore, in one of the

91

:

closets, and it tore down the rail.

92

:

Oh.

93

:

Gonna have to do it my-

build a new one, you know?

94

:

And, uh, it's just…

95

:

You know, they aren't

that heavy, are they?

96

:

I guess they may be.

97

:

All right?

98

:

Maybe I need to give them

away, but nobody wants them.

99

:

So anyway, personal problem.

100

:

Let's move on.

101

:

All right?

102

:

What was I talking about?

103

:

Reframing problems and

seeing them as opportunities.

104

:

Amen?

105

:

Yeah.

106

:

Yeah.

107

:

And then this is a great little acronym.

108

:

Seeking joy is first seeking Jesus,

seeking others, and then seeking

109

:

what's best for yourself as well,

which is our relationship with God.

110

:

Some definitions of joy.

111

:

Very employ- important for us to grab

hold of a good personal definition of joy.

112

:

Joy is a state of being or

byproduct of significance.

113

:

You can't really go after joy.

114

:

You have to live in such a way where

it's a byproduct of your character,

115

:

and your activities, and your thinking,

and your convictions, and your faith.

116

:

You can't get it directly.

117

:

It's gotta be a gift from

God, a gift from the Spirit.

118

:

And the word is chara, which is like,

uh, uh, uh, the, the, the, the, the

119

:

word, Greek word for grace, charis.

120

:

All right?

121

:

And so they're sister, uh, words in

the Greek 'cause they're connected

122

:

both as gifts, gifts from God.

123

:

Joy represents a deeper inner

gladness and cheerfulness.

124

:

Some of you were born joyful.

125

:

When they slapped you, you smiled at it.

126

:

Right?

127

:

And then some of us, we, we, we just

grabbed hold of the nearest dark cloud

128

:

and just pulled it over us, you know?

129

:

I, I've always been as-- too serious.

130

:

I love being around happy people.

131

:

I need to be happier.

132

:

I wanna be happier.

133

:

This is a hard sermon to preach for me

'cause I'm not a naturally joyful person.

134

:

I don't wake up

135

:

Kathy's even like, "Craig, open your eyes.

136

:

You're gonna fall down the stairs

if you don't open your eyes."

137

:

I don't wake up until a

shower and coffee Amen.

138

:

Now, I may be up and I may be

walking around, but I, I, I'm one…

139

:

I'm not a morning person.

140

:

Some of you are morning people.

141

:

My wife's a morning person.

142

:

She's just always happy.

143

:

The opposites attract, that's

why I love her, all right?

144

:

Oh, man.

145

:

She, she gets me going in the morning.

146

:

She's loving, she's kind.

147

:

I'm like, "Oh, it's another day."

148

:

You know?

149

:

And I know I shouldn't be

that way, but I'm just…

150

:

I'm admitting this, this

is who I am naturally.

151

:

And but I want to be joyful.

152

:

I wanna be happy.

153

:

We all do, don't we?

154

:

Yeah.

155

:

We want it to overflow from within us.

156

:

Nobody wants to be around Eeyore.

157

:

And if you don't know who, who

Eeyore is, you need to read to your

158

:

grandkids more often, all right?

159

:

In fact, you want joy,

get around some children.

160

:

Yeah.

161

:

The last 10 months living with

our two grandkids, I just,

162

:

I just crack up at times.

163

:

I mean, I mean, they, they, they just…

164

:

Children do funny things, you know?

165

:

And our little baby, she's one

and a half now, she just gibbers.

166

:

When I wake, she,

167

:

"Uh, uh."

168

:

And she knows what she's saying.

169

:

She knows what we mean.

170

:

I just say, "Yes.

171

:

Yes."

172

:

And somehow that appeases her.

173

:

And then sometimes it doesn't,

she gives me this look

174

:

Like you're stupid

175

:

And then I start laughing

when she gives me that look.

176

:

I mean, you gotta be around kids.

177

:

You gotta be around things

that will bring joy out of you.

178

:

Amen?

179

:

Amen.

180

:

Amen.

181

:

Come on, man.

182

:

You know, we, we, we, we've got this

house about a month ago, but we haven't

183

:

moved out of our daughter's yet.

184

:

I think we're, we're, we're, we're a lit-

we're dragging our feet a little bit, me

185

:

more than Cathy, because I love that joy.

186

:

I love that gift I, I get.

187

:

I'm gonna have to hang out there a lot.

188

:

They better feed me.

189

:

Amen.

190

:

Joy is taking delight in someone

or something beyond yourself,

191

:

like your children, like God.

192

:

Joy is being drawn out of

ourselves in fulfilling activity.

193

:

Don't you just feel great after

you've done something good for

194

:

someone else, an act of kindness?

195

:

Yeah.

196

:

Some type of service, service

to God, service to others.

197

:

Don't you just feel good?

198

:

Don't you feel good at the end of the

day when you've had a fruitful day?

199

:

Yeah.

200

:

When you did most of the things that

you wanted to do, especially for God.

201

:

Joy is the satisfaction we find when

we realize what we have been seeking.

202

:

The greatest joy is conversion.

203

:

Yeah.

204

:

And not just our own.

205

:

Watching other people be converted.

206

:

Oh, that's right.

207

:

That's right.

208

:

I don't know about you, but I,

I'm not emotionally unstable.

209

:

You might be

210

:

But I'm, I, as the older I get, at

baptisms, I always get emotional.

211

:

Wow.

212

:

And when they share their testimony.

213

:

And I was a little emotional this

morning to see all these kids up here.

214

:

Right.

215

:

Yeah.

216

:

'Cause that's a milestone, folks.

217

:

Yeah.

218

:

Right.

219

:

And I know how hard it is to graduate.

220

:

Yeah.

221

:

I practiced.

222

:

All right?

223

:

But even just graduating from high school,

that wasn't that easy for some of us.

224

:

Yeah.

225

:

We didn't have educated parents.

226

:

We didn't have anybody that cared

that deeply whether we studied or not.

227

:

We didn't have that many role models.

228

:

Yeah.

229

:

So these kids graduating from high

school, what a milestone, what a

230

:

joy, what a great foundation, what a

springboard- Yeah … for going forward.

231

:

And then these folks graduating

from college, do you know how many

232

:

times in college I almost quit?

233

:

You almost quit?

234

:

Didn't you go to college for 30 years?

235

:

No, just 25, all right?

236

:

But after the first semester,

I went down and was gonna quit.

237

:

Signed up for the Marines.

238

:

Wasn't quite old enough, so I had

to take the paperwork to my dad.

239

:

He tore it up.

240

:

Said, "You're going back to college."

241

:

"Dad, I didn't do very good.

242

:

It's too hard.

243

:

I don't think I can do it."

244

:

I was valedictorian in my high school,

but when you're in a school with all

245

:

valedictorians, you can feel pretty stupid

246

:

He said, "You're going back,

unless you want to come out

247

:

to the oil field with me."

248

:

I said, "No, I'll go back to college."

249

:

All right?

250

:

And then it, then you

learn how to go to school.

251

:

And once you learn a few of the

approaches, the methods, the

252

:

tricks, it becomes a joy to learn.

253

:

C- I congratulate you, every

one of you that graduated.

254

:

Every one of you that are

on that journey, keep going.

255

:

Don't give up.

256

:

Amen.

257

:

For the joy set before you,

you will graduate someday.

258

:

It might take another year

or another, another year.

259

:

It doesn't matter when, you just will.

260

:

Joy is a core human emotion defined

by intense, long-lasting happiness,

261

:

contentment, and wellbeing.

262

:

We're not talking about pleasure.

263

:

We're not talking about

happiness this morning.

264

:

We're talking about a deep fruit

of the spirit that's abiding.

265

:

Unlike fleeting happiness, it is

often tied to deeper fulfillment

266

:

and purpose or connection.

267

:

While happiness is often an external

response to a specific event,

268

:

like getting a raise or something,

joy is generally viewed as an

269

:

internal, enduring state of what?

270

:

Gratitude.

271

:

Gratitude.

272

:

If you're not a grateful

person, you don't have much joy.

273

:

That's it.

274

:

If you can learn to be grateful-

275

:

Did you have warm water this morning?

276

:

Yeah.

277

:

Oh, I'm grateful for it.

278

:

Yeah.

279

:

'Cause when I was in Russia,

they didn't have warm water.

280

:

They had cold water.

281

:

But you felt so dirty, you

went ahead and jumped in there.

282

:

And it, in Russia, in the winter, with

cold water, uh, we're talking cold water.

283

:

And the towels were dish towels.

284

:

They're not made for

people like me, all right?

285

:

Bigger people.

286

:

We had bigger towels when I was

playing sports, and I would use two.

287

:

The, the, the equipment manager,

he, he'd always gripe at me, "Why

288

:

do you always use so many towels?"

289

:

"Well, 'cause I like drying

off and being clean."

290

:

"Why not just use one

towel like everybody else?"

291

:

"'Cause I like two."

292

:

And then I ruined my wife.

293

:

We got married, and she was

always upset with, "Why do you

294

:

use a clean towel every day?"

295

:

"Because I wanna be clean."

296

:

"Well, if you've showered and

you use a towel, then aren't

297

:

you clean when you dry off?"

298

:

"Yeah, but I got it dirty."

299

:

And now she uses a clean towel every day.

300

:

You become like each other after 45 years.

301

:

Amen?

302

:

I love this parable, the

parable of the talents.

303

:

Jesus, you know it, and it's

not usually used as a joy text.

304

:

It's used as a judgment text, but y-

let's use it as a joy text this morning.

305

:

Amen?

306

:

Again, it will be like a man going

on a journey who called his servants

307

:

and entrusted his property to them.

308

:

To one he gave five talents of

money, to another two talents,

309

:

and to another one talent.

310

:

And you gotta listen to this.

311

:

Each according to his ability.

312

:

God only gives you what you can handle.

313

:

He doesn't give you too much, and

he expects just what is fair- Amen

314

:

for each of us.

315

:

Then he went on a journey, and

then the next part of the, the,

316

:

the parable, we know the rest of

it, but here it h- is how it ends.

317

:

His master replied, "Well done,

good and faithful servant."

318

:

That's all we are is servants.

319

:

If you think you're more

than a servant, God help you.

320

:

As they say in the South, "Mercy."

321

:

God bless you.

322

:

We're just servants.

323

:

Don't think too highly of ourselves.

324

:

"You have been faithful

with a few things."

325

:

Faithful, that's all we

gotta be, is faithful.

326

:

"I put you in charge … I will

put you in charge of many things.

327

:

Come and share," what?

328

:

"Your master's happiness."

329

:

We make God happy.

330

:

That's a joy that's beyond understanding.

331

:

I pray for people often for peace

that's beyond their circumstances,

332

:

peace beyond- Amen … understanding.

333

:

Glory.

334

:

Yes, amen.

335

:

Because we don't understand why it's

happening to us, and we don't understand

336

:

all the vicissitudes of lives, all of the

ups and downs, all the challenges, all.

337

:

We don't know the answer why.

338

:

We will someday.

339

:

Yeah.

340

:

But praise God, when God's

happy with us and we know it, we

341

:

can have this overflowing joy.

342

:

Yeah.

343

:

You know God's happy with you this

morning 'cause you're in church.

344

:

He wants His people to come together, to

meet together, to worship Him, to pray

345

:

and praise, and to remember the sacrifice

of His Son, and to hear His teaching,

346

:

to hear His Word to His people- Yeah

347

:

because you're here.

348

:

And it's not the most popular things.

349

:

Most people go to the beach.

350

:

Most people go to a sporting event.

351

:

Most people spend a lot of money to

go somewhere else other than church.

352

:

But God's pleased with you-

Amen … because you're here.

353

:

Amen.

354

:

And it took a little effort.

355

:

Yeah.

356

:

Well done, good and faithful servants.

357

:

Do you hear that in your head very often?

358

:

That isn't a tape most of us hear played.

359

:

Most of us hear do

more- Yeah … get more.

360

:

Yeah.

361

:

We listen to the advertising when we

nee- need to listen to the Word of God.

362

:

Amen.

363

:

Because you've been faithful.

364

:

I don't preach a whole lot

of repentance to the church.

365

:

I preach repentance to the world,

and I preach repentance to the church

366

:

'cause I know we get visitors and

stuff, but the church is the faithful.

367

:

That's right.

368

:

The church is the one that's been

faithful now and have been…

369

:

Many of you have been faithful

for years and for decades,

370

:

and some of you, many decades.

371

:

Sorry to bring up your age.

372

:

If you wanna learn more about

joy, my friend Richard Beck wrote

373

:

a great book, The Shape of Joy.

374

:

I've shared it with you before, but

he's just a, he's a serious guy like me.

375

:

He's a professor at Abilene Christian,

the chairman of the psychology department.

376

:

But he, he…

377

:

And he writes short books.

378

:

I, I like him, too.

379

:

All right?

380

:

But this is a great book.

381

:

He's really into positive psychology

and, and the science of awe, which is

382

:

the science of God, and the science

of joy, and the science of happiness,

383

:

and he's written a great book.

384

:

And I, I read his model again

this week about, uh, joy.

385

:

And if you look at these things he says

we need to do to have joy, we need to

386

:

quiet our souls, our, our inner beings.

387

:

We need to focus on others.

388

:

We need to invest in some social good.

389

:

We need to not be reactive

and be stable and temperate.

390

:

We need to go after worthy things

and value what God values or

391

:

what's very valuable and not just

what Madison Avenue teaches us.

392

:

And then we need our egos,

our pride, our will to shrink

393

:

Go around this circle, this quadrilateral.

394

:

Quiet, that sounds like peace

395

:

Others, that sounds like kindness

396

:

Or patience.

397

:

Social patience, that's kindness.

398

:

Non-reactive, that's goodness.

399

:

Worthy, that sounds like

self-control or maybe a small ego.

400

:

You can put the fruits of the

spirit into his model, and I'm gonna

401

:

suggest to him, y- you only have

one, two, three, four, five, six.

402

:

You need nine.

403

:

There's nine fruits of

the spirit, Richard.

404

:

I better not try to correct

him or change his model.

405

:

Speaker 2: He did a lot of research.

406

:

Dr. Gregg Marutzky:

407

:

I'm still gonna say it, uh,

you know, just as a friend.

408

:

John 15 verse 11, "I have told you

this so that my joy may be in you

409

:

and that your joy may be complete."

410

:

What did he say right before this?

411

:

"You are my friends.

412

:

I no longer call you servants.

413

:

I call you friends because I have shared

everything my Father has shared with me."

414

:

And what did he just share before that?

415

:

"I am the vine and you are the branches.

416

:

Abide in me and you'll bear much fruit."

417

:

Abide in me and you'll be

joyful, is the promise.

418

:

Amen.

419

:

Amen.

420

:

Augustine, one of the great theologians

of the Christian Church, said, "O Lord,

421

:

far be it from me to think that whatever

joy I feel makes me truly happy, for

422

:

there is a joy that is not given to

those who do not love you, but only to

423

:

those who love you for your own sake.

424

:

You yourself is their joy.

425

:

Happiness is to rejoice in you

and for you and because of you.

426

:

This is true happiness,

and there is no other.

427

:

Those who think that there is another

kind of happiness look for joy

428

:

elsewhere, but theirs is not true joy."

429

:

True joy is found in

Jesus Christ, I believe.

430

:

Amen.

431

:

He says in John 16, the next chapter,

"So with you, now is your time of grief."

432

:

You know what illustration

he gave right before this?

433

:

He gave the illustration of childbirth.

434

:

And he says, "During

childbirth, there's great pain.

435

:

But then after the birth,

there's only rejoicing."

436

:

You ask a mom, they, they'll remember

how many hours they were in labor,

437

:

but the- I've never met a mom yet

that didn't think it was worth it.

438

:

Amen.

439

:

The miracle of birth.

440

:

And so Jesus used that illustration, then

he says this: "Now is your time for grief,

441

:

for pain," that's this world, "but I

will see you again, and you will rejoice,

442

:

and no one will take away your joy."

443

:

Amen.

444

:

That's the joy we want, amen?

445

:

Amen.

446

:

That kind of joy.

447

:

The obstacles of joy, because of our

culture, because of the society we live

448

:

in, because of the world that we're

in, m- we m- advertising tells us they

449

:

manufacture a desire for more and more

450

:

It feeds a discontentment.

451

:

Or you, and an anxiety it says.

452

:

Advertising feeds

discontentment and anxiety.

453

:

Puts pressure on people.

454

:

Earn more so you can buy more.

455

:

Earn more because you need this.

456

:

Spend more because

457

:

FOMO

458

:

Fear of missing out.

459

:

Advertising and marketing

460

:

I saw there were a few marketing majors

461

:

That graduated I was too.

462

:

That's one of my areas

463

:

Use it carefully.

464

:

Amen?

465

:

Amen.

466

:

Creating false connections,

delusional images of desire.

467

:

All this is what marketing

and advertising does.

468

:

Elusive commitment, or

contentment, I mean.

469

:

Elusive contentment.

470

:

You're not quite there yet.

471

:

You gotta get a better job.

472

:

You gotta get a bigger house.

473

:

Oh, you got a big house.

474

:

Ah, you need another one.

475

:

You know?

476

:

You don't have a new enough car.

477

:

It's always elusive, this contentment,

and feeds a discontentment.

478

:

What else is an obstacle to joy?

479

:

New and improved.

480

:

Nothing good about the past

or the old, and young people

481

:

don't buy into this completely.

482

:

There's good about technology and

AI and new things, and there's

483

:

good about some old, traditional,

stable, foundational things.

484

:

We all build on the past

or we don't build well.

485

:

It's not a either/or.

486

:

It's a both/and.

487

:

And when you're young, you only have

either/or thinking, and so you gotta

488

:

listen to some of the folks that are

a little older with a little more

489

:

experience because new and improved

isn't always new and improved.

490

:

Yes.

491

:

Yeah.

492

:

It's just something to sell people.

493

:

Glorifying the novel and the different

494

:

I don't buy the novel.

495

:

I take my daughter's hand-me-down phones.

496

:

I know some of you stand in

line, you get the newest.

497

:

Good for you.

498

:

Not in my budget.

499

:

And she likes to get the new and improved,

and I think your company helps pay

500

:

for it, so I'll take her hand-me-down.

501

:

I think I have an, uh, iPhone 10 or 11.

502

:

That's good enough.

503

:

And now I know they're even up to 17.

504

:

How did…

505

:

Man, they, they went from

10 to 17 before I blinked.

506

:

All right?

507

:

But God bless you if you've gotta

have the newest of that, because

508

:

there's probably something better.

509

:

You got a better camera, I he- I guess.

510

:

Right?

511

:

But when you, you look like me, you

don't want the best camera, right?

512

:

Old is bad.

513

:

Past is suspicious.

514

:

Don't think that way.

515

:

Breathing anxiety and fear, it's at

all-time epidemic levels right now.

516

:

Negative thinking.

517

:

Most television feeds a negative

thinking, especially the news.

518

:

Holding on to anger and conflict.

519

:

Let's let go of anger.

520

:

Amen.

521

:

Let's let go of con- Let's

try to be peacemakers.

522

:

Can we do that?

523

:

Cultivating joy.

524

:

Here's the good stuff.

525

:

Get to it, Greg.

526

:

Finish it up.

527

:

Learning contentment

528

:

Just start making a list of the

good things in your life that you

529

:

should be content about, all right?

530

:

And before you buy something,

do I really need it?

531

:

How many pairs of shoes

do you already have?

532

:

All right.

533

:

Learning contentment, expressing

praise and gratitude to other people.

534

:

Teach your kids to say,

"Thank you, please, yes.

535

:

Thank you for dinner, Mom."

536

:

Amen.

537

:

"Thank you for cleaning the hou-

thank you for these clean clothes.

538

:

Thank you for this house, Dad.

539

:

Thank you for how hard you work, Dad."

540

:

Amen.

541

:

You know, it's good to be around

these little kids, these grandkids.

542

:

Their parents teach them

c- Now, was that kind?

543

:

Sometimes they, they, they say

things to me that it's not that kind.

544

:

"Papa, can you go get me s- this?"

545

:

And my daughter will say, "No,

don't be telling Papa to do that.

546

:

You go do that."

547

:

And I'm like, "Thank you, daughter."

548

:

Amen.

549

:

Being kind.

550

:

Express reconceiving tradition.

551

:

The old isn't always bad.

552

:

Enjoying children, I've already said that.

553

:

Practicing Sabbath, learning to

stop- Yes … and find peace.

554

:

Yes.

555

:

Focusing on the positive.

556

:

Don't you love being

around negative people?

557

:

I'm not gonna say their name, but I

have a relative that's very negative.

558

:

And oh, I can only visit two days.

559

:

That's it.

560

:

They're always complaining to

me, "Why don't you come visit?

561

:

Why don't you stay longer?"

562

:

'cause you're so naked as a jaybird

563

:

Can't say it or they'd

be negative about me

564

:

Nobody likes it.

565

:

No.

566

:

Deciding to smile

567

:

Communicating faith and hope,

deciding to smile consistently,

568

:

stepping out of depression.

569

:

You have to make that

choice and that decision.

570

:

Investing in relationships,

engaging in service activities,

571

:

and resolve your conflicts.

572

:

Those are just a few of the things

that will cultivate joy that are

573

:

keeping us from being joyful.

574

:

And here's a beautiful little slide

if you wanna take pictures of it.

575

:

It's all small.

576

:

You can- you gotta have one of those

iPhone 17s, I guess, to be able to

577

:

blow this up, to be able to read it.

578

:

Here I, here I've talked myself

into a dead end, didn't I?

579

:

There you go.

580

:

But it's a joy map.

581

:

One of our brothers, Glenn Giles, in

Denver, an elder there, made that.

582

:

And to close out, give joy to get joy.

583

:

Even in fellowship this afternoon,

give some joy so you can get some joy.

584

:

And play this tape in

your head over and over.

585

:

Repeat it over and over and over.

586

:

Well done, good and faithful servant.

587

:

Well done, good and faithful servant.

588

:

Well done, sister, my great daughter.

589

:

Well done, my beloved, my

good and faithful daughter,

590

:

my good and faithful son.

591

:

God affirms us.

592

:

That's what joy is.

593

:

And then to bring it back and to tie this

string together and all of these fruits

594

:

of the Spirit, the things that God tells

us to do as a church over and over, we

595

:

ju- we're about to do the Lord's Supper.

596

:

Why?

597

:

Because it's about giving

and receiving grace.

598

:

That's why it says, "Consider the body

of Christ when you take of the bread

599

:

and take of the fruit of the vine."

600

:

Make sure you're reconciled in the body,

there's no issues with someone else.

601

:

The giving and receiving of grace.

602

:

The worship, what we've been doing

already, expressing gratitude and praise.

603

:

And service, the sacrifice

of time and effort.

604

:

And then my daughter told me after

last week's sermon, "Greg…"

605

:

Or she didn't say Greg, she said Dad.

606

:

She said, "Dad, that last point

could've been a whole sermon.

607

:

I've never heard that before,

that discipleship is knowing

608

:

and transforming yourself."

609

:

She said, "I've always thought

of it negatively, like it's just

610

:

being picked on, even by God.

611

:

You gotta change."

612

:

No, it's knowing and transforming

yourself to be like Jesus.

613

:

Amen.

614

:

Amen.

615

:

And then we can jump for joy.

616

:

That's right.

617

:

God bless the church.

618

:

Amen.
