Joy doesn’t wait for the morning; it breaks into the night.In this Advent message, we step into the fields outside Bethlehem and rediscover the familiar Christmas story through the eyes of the shepherds. These ordinary, overlooked men were the first to hear the announcement of Jesus’ birth, reminding us that God often brings His greatest joy into our darkest moments.Through a deep dive into the cultural world of the shepherds and the angel’s proclamation of “good news of great joy,” this sermon explores how true joy is not dependent on circumstances, status, or timing. We’ll uncover three practical spiritual principles that show us how to experience lasting joy, even in seasons of fear, waiting, and uncertainty.Whether you’re walking through a dark night or simply longing for deeper joy this Christmas, this message invites you to draw near to Jesus — the source of joy for all people.📖 Scripture: Luke 2:8–20——Pastor Adam FryDecember 14, 2025The Harbour Church—— Take a Step: Follow Jesus: https://t.ly/9kAq Request Prayer: https://t.ly/m474 —— Stay Connected: Website: https://theharbourchurch.com Facebook: https://t.ly/erB4 Instagram: https://t.ly/7ZBq Newsletter: https://t.ly/ILDt#theharbourchurch churchonline #kincardine #experiencelife #liveincommunity #discoverpurpose #makeadifference #jesuschangeseverything #christmas #advent #waiting #faithfulness #joy #shepherds #luke2
