In Context: The Joy of the Lord is your Strength Part 2 (Neh. 8:10)
In this follow-up message on Nehemiah 8:10, we dive deeper into what it truly means for “the joy of the Lord” to be our strength—especially in seasons of sorrow and grief. Unpacking the original Hebrew, we discover that God’s joy over us is meant to be our stronghold and refuge, not just a fleeting feeling. But we also ask: is it ever okay to grieve? Looking at the example of Jesus, the biblical call to mourn with those who mourn, and real stories of persecuted believers, we see that God meets us in both joy and sorrow. Whether you’re celebrating or facing heartbreak, this sermon will encourage you that God’s joy is your place of safety, and that honest grieving has its place in the Christian life. Join us as we learn how to find hope, strength, and even joy in the presence of God—no matter what season we’re in.
