Don't we all want more joy? Yet, it can be so elusive, so conditional. How can we practically experience it on a more consistent basis? The concept of joy weaves throughout Scripture like the redeeming love of God. It is really the story of the Israelites, as they were created and chosen for something far greater than they could ever imagine, and their struggle with trying to define joy on their own terms. This material is suited for 4 sessions for a retreat: The story of man's struggle with joy, The faulty foundations for joy, The means for our joy, and The extent of our joy. The sessions could also be condensed for a single event.
