The Story of Joy & BPC Holiday Schedule of Services

What’s the difference between Happiness and Joy? I want to pass along to you what my Pastor told me regarding this question. “Happiness is based on our circumstances but Joy is based on having a relationship with Christ.” For many the outward circumstances of a particular something dictate whether they will be happy or sad but for those who know Christ we can have Joy on the inside while things are not so great on the outside. In John 16:33 Jesus said; In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.

Nowhere is this truth more evident than in the life of the young woman Mary. We also know her as Joseph’s fiancé and Jesus’ Mother. In this latest installment of BPC’s podcast we’ll examine the announcement of Jesus’ birth from Mary’s perspective & very clearly see that Mary chooses to respond with Joy from the inside rather than reacting with fear & doubt while the circumstances of her life were raging on the outside.
