This Sunday, our advent theme is joy. The angels tell the shepherds that they bring good news of great joy. That news is that a Savior has been born. During the sermon, we are going to be looking at Jesus' interaction with Zacchaeus. Through this story we are going to see that an encounter with Jesus always ends in joy.

1. Pray for God to give you the joy only found in Jesus.
2. Pray that God will help us not find joy in the things of the world but only in Him.
3. Confess your attitude of self-righteousness that robs you of joy.
4. Pray that our church members would seek Christ, and in seeking, find joy in Him.
