This message wraps up our “Get a Hold of Yourself” series on the 8 core emotions from Voices of the Heart by Chip Dodd, focusing on the final emotion—gladness—through John 15:9–11. Pastor Michael teaches that true gladness doesn’t come from success, control, or comfort, but from being deeply loved by Jesus and staying connected to Him, the True Vine. Just like a phone dies when it’s unplugged, our joy fades when we try to live on spiritual 3%. Gladness begins when we rest in God’s unchanging love, grows as we walk in daily obedience, and lasts when Christ’s own joy fills us. This sermon is an invitation to stop chasing counterfeit happiness and start abiding in the love that never runs out. Thanks for istening!
