How to Have Joy When Life Is Hard
Sep 27, 2026 • Pastor Jeff Stanford
What happens to your joy when life doesn’t go as planned?
Jesus never promised a life without pain, disappointment, or difficult seasons—but He did promise us a joy that circumstances cannot take away.
In this message from John 15, Pastor Jeff shares how the joy of Jesus is rooted in our relationship with the Father, strengthened through the Holy Spirit, and able to sustain us through every season. You’ll discover why biblical joy is different from temporary happiness, how staying connected to God changes the way you walk through hardship, and why joy grows when you share it with others.
Your circumstances may change. The answers may take longer than you hoped. The season may be difficult. But the joy of the Lord can remain.
