The Advent Of, Joy, Week 3. In this Week 3 message of Christmas at Vertical, we explore how the good news of the gospel interrupts our lives with great joy and transforms us into bearers of that joy to the world. Using Luke 2:8-20, we uncover powerful lessons from the shepherds – their faithfulness, humility, and willingness to be interrupted by God’s divine plan. Discover how joy isn’t just a momentary interruption but a consistent theme we can live out every day. Be encouraged to embrace the joy of the gospel and share it with those around you this Christmas season.
