Summary

In this episode as part of the He Is series, Leslie unpacks Biblical keys to finding lasting joy in Christ. If persecuted Christians can rejoice in their prison cells, if impoverished people can be cheerful amidst their circumstances, and if the Apostle Paul could be happy even with his unimaginable trials, what excuse do we have not to embrace lasting joy? And yet many of us struggle with the pitfall of "delayed happiness", basing our joy on specific circumstances, hopes or dreams. In this message Leslie helps us transition from circumstantial happiness to unshakeable joy no matter what our circumstances - in Christ.
