Pastor Zelvis Applin from South Hills Church in Wimauma, Florida joins Pastor Jim Taber to discuss the topic of joy in the lives of Next Step Disciples.Key Points:There is a real sense of the loss of joy in the world but also within the church.The biggest thief of joy is selfishness. Giving into the flesh steals from the Spirit. Continuing in poor relationships takes joy and peace from us. Soundbites of media feed us with fighting, division, and brain overload.Joy comes from the Lord. Every person has the capacity because we can choose Christ.Our joy does not come from our situations. Joy has depth and substance to it that brings fullness within times of turbulence. Joy is produced through obedience and trust in the Lord.Go Deeper: 2 Corinthians 5:14-15, Romans 8, James 1:2, Philippians 4:5-7, John 16:33, Psalm 34:18Necessary Ending by Henry Cloud Have questions for future shows or want to share how you have been applying the Next Step Disciple Podcast in your life?
