    With the pressures of life and sins we commit, we can lose the joy of our salvation and become dry. God wants to restore us to full and complete JOY in Him.

    Joy is to be an evidence of walking with Jesus! The book we are studying in our home group is called “Outflow”. The basic premise is that we are to let Jesus so fill our lives that He spills out and overflows from our life to others. Over the pass three weeks while reading the book I had to come ...read more
