Unexpected: Grace That Brings Joy reminds us that God’s grace brings deep and lasting joy—not because life is easy, but because God is faithful to keep His promises. Through the story of Elizabeth, we see that long seasons of waiting do not mean God has forgotten us. Even when circumstances remain unchanged, God is quietly at work, speaking promises and preparing hearts. True joy erupts when God’s presence is recognized and His Word is believed. This Christmas Eve message points us to Jesus as the source of our joy, hope, and salvation. Whether you come weary, waiting, or wondering, this message invites you to trust that God sees you, remembers you, and has come near in Christ.
