This Advent sermon focuses on the true meaning of joy during the Christmas season by examining the responses of Simeon and Anna to the infant Jesus in Luke 2. Pastor Nathan challenges the congregation to move beyond the stresses and distractions of Christmas preparations to rediscover the profound joy that comes from recognizing Jesus as the long-awaited Messiah. The sermon emphasizes that Jesus is a Savior we must accept by faith, not based on what He does for us immediately, but because of who He is. Through the accounts of Simeon, Anna, and Mary and Joseph losing Jesus in the temple, the message reveals how easy it is to lose track of Christ even in the midst of religious activity. True joy comes from sanctifying time for God, being in His presence, and remembering that Jesus's work extends far beyond our lifetime. The sermon calls believers to store these truths in their hearts and find Jesus by returning to places of sacrifice, sanctification, and praise.
