Main Message Text: Galatians 5
Points:
You can fake joy on your face, but you can't fake joy in your heart.
Happiness is usually circumstantial and temporary; joy can be transcendent and perpetual.

All the Fruit of the Spirit becomes the natural byproduct of a life close to Jesus and in step with the Spirit.

Joy is internal
-
Joy is a natural byproduct of God's presence

Joy can sometimes be hindered by circumstances (but doesn't have to be)
-
Joy is designed by God to be transcendent
-
Joy will someday be eternal
