God’s agenda for our lives…
Galatians 5:22 “But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness…”
John 15:11 “I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow!”
Philippians 4:11-19
Contentment is the ____________________________… of what I focus on.
The Twin Promises (what to focus on)
vs. 13 “For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.” vs. 19 “And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.”
4:13 + 4:19 = ____________________
The Big SHIFT: Shift my focus from “IT COULD BE
______________” to “IT COULD BE _____________.”
Assignment: Memorize Philippians 4:13 & 19!

Jesus has a gift for us. He spoke about it
in John 15:11: “I have told you these things
so that you will be filled with my joy.
Yes, your joy will overflow!”
Overflowing joy! It’s bigger than happiness.
Happiness is circumstantial. Joy is constant. It’s
not based on what is happening around me…
it’s all about what is going on inside me.
Are you experiencing joy? Are you on the
right road to receive Jesus’ gift?
This weekend we conclude our 5-week series
“Joyride.” We have been traveling through an
amazing book in the Bible called Philippians
to discover how to find joy in whatever
circumstances we might be facing.
Life is a journey. So, let’s enjoy the ride.

FAMILY MINISTRY—Youth Middle School Pastor: Eric Bemowski
Senior High Pastor: Erik Anderson
Welcome! We are glad you have chosen to spend a part of your weekend with us. If you're new to Crossroads, here's a quick snapshot of what we love… We love to laugh and have fun. We weren't listening when they said church was supposed to be boring. We love to serve others. We believe that the greatest life is a life lived for others. We love being authentic. Pretending to be perfect is too tiring. That's why our motto is "no perfect people allowed." At Crossroads we love Jesus so much that our vision is to become a movement of Jesus-like people who do Jesus-like stuff.
