John Bloom has written: "There’s nothing wrong with a little aesthetic, nostalgic Christmas romance. God made us sentimental beings to increase our enjoyment of and gratitude for his many past graces. But if the romance and nostalgia become the substance, the pursuit of our Christmas celebrations, then they become deceptive - mirages of joy that disappear as soon as we reach for their illusive promise. That's what Christmas has become for so many: a joy mirage, or perhaps a joy fantasy. That’s because our Christmas traditions don’t so much house joy as much as they point to joy.  This Christmas Eve - Pastor Matt explore's where true joy - indestructible, unspeakable joy - is found and how we might take greater hold of it this Christmas season and beyond.
