Series Title: What To Expect When You're Expecting
Sermon Title: Expecting Joy
Scripture: Luke 2:8–14 and John 15:9–11

Luke 2:8-14
8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
    and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

John 15:9-11
9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain (abide) in my love.10 If you keep my commands, you will remain (abide) in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain (abide) in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.

Looking forward to worshiping the Lord together with you this Sunday!
Blessings in Christ,
