Joy for the Joyless: Advent Week 3

Michael Ryan Stotler

In the middle of the Advent season, we often face realities that challenge our joy. Crops fail, jobs are lost, relationships strain—but true joy is not dependent on circumstances; it is rooted in who God is.

Join Pastor Ryan as he explores Habakkuk 3:17–19, discovering how to rejoice in the Lord even when life feels bleak. Learn how God can be your strength, giving you the courage to rise above despair and walk by faith.
