"If Jesus Had a Fruit Stand" - Joy - Britt Hemphill - Week 2

DUNGENESS COMMUNITY CHURCH

Sermon Questions

1. What has been your experience of joy as a Fruit of the Spirit?

2. In what ways have you experienced hope and imagination as ‘upstream’ from joy? How do you see these two things informing joy as a gift of the Spirit?

3. CS Lewis wrote: “All Joy reminds. It is never a possession, always a desire for something longer ago or further away or still ‘about to be.’” Discuss this idea as it relates to joy as a fruit of the Spirit.

4. Is it difficult for you to distinguish joy from happiness? If so, in what ways?
