Unexpected Joy

Delivered on 12/16/2018

Part 3 of the series The Promise Fulfilled

At some point in our lives, God will give us "a promise to claim.” Mary experienced this when an angel told her she would give birth to the Son of God.

Just like God did with Mary, he will call us to prepare ourselves for his promise by giving up something that is blocking us from true happiness with him. But how will we know what that is? How will we know we're prepared for the promises of God? In this message, Pastor Buddy Owens will show your members how they can claim God's promises and lead joyful lives.
