Finding reasons to be joyful in everyday life may be challenging, and being joyful in affliction and suffering may seem utterly impracticable. However, Christians are enjoined by Scripture to be joyful in any — even the most apparently hopeless — circumstances. What does this entail? In a new RENEWING YOUR MIND teaching series from Ligonier Ministries, Dr RC Sproul presents the biblical concept of joy that is grounded in the promises of God. The series reveals how it is possible to understand the biblical dimension of joy by understanding Christ, and demonstrates how Christ could be both a man of sorrows and of joy. We discover how joy is part of the fruit of the Spirit, and is neither an expression of callousness nor a means of escape, but leads towards greater sanctification in the Christian life. Tune in to hear JOY with Dr. RC Sproul, (Sun 2000, Wed 1200, Fri 230), starting on August 1.

“Our joy is to come from the assurance that we have redemption in Christ. The greatest joy that a person can have is to know that his name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, that he is saved and will live forever with Christ.
