    The only way money can buy happiness is when you give it away. How can we do that and why does God think that we need to learn that practice in our lives?

    (This sermon series is based on a book by Randy Alcorn entitled "The Treasure Principle) OPEN: Years ago, there was a comedian named Joan Rivers that said: “People say that money isn’t the key to happiness, but I always figured if you have enough money, you can have a key made.” A ...read more

    The Joy Of Christmas Series

    To find real joy in a world in perma-crisis, worship the Christ of Christmas. Like the wise men, seek Him out, bow before him, and give Him your very best.

    As people across the globe reel from one crisis to another, the Collins English Dictionary just last month (November 2022) revealed its 2022 word of the year: “permacrisis.” Harper Collins, the dictionary’s publisher, defines “permacrisis” as “an extended period of instability and insecurity, ...read more

    Repentance is key to enjoying God’s forgiveness of sin. Understanding what the Bible says about repentance is the foundation for living out what God’s will for us.

    The Joy of Repentance Grasping the Value of Repenting There is a passage of Scripture Jesus spoke to His disciples and in that Word of truth from God, there is a key Greek word of which we must grasp it’s meaning. Jesus said, “Then He opened their minds so they understand the Scriptures, and ...read more

    Joy In Trials?!

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Feb 18, 2022
     | 2,703 views

    The idea that we could find joy in trials seems very strange. But it makes sense - and it could radically change the way we respond to the trials that inevitably come.

    We’ve now reached the last in our series of ‘Messages of Encouragement’. And we’ve come to a very difficult piece of teaching! ‘James’ – whoever James may be – tells us TO CONSIDER IT PURE JOY WHENEVER WE FACE TRIALS OF MANY KINDS! Wow! That sounds crazy! How can we understand it? The general ...read more

    The Joy Of The Lord

     | 6,294 views

    In these verses, God’s Word talks about the “JOY of The Lord” that we can enjoy, and what it can do for us.

    The Lord gives us His JOY each day, but the devil tries to rob us of it each day. For example, he will make sure each day people will enter our life that take great delight in stripping every ounce of joy that they can extract from our life. They spare no effort: • They will drive across town if ...read more

    No wonder Paul had such joy. Through his circumstances, Christ was known, preached, and magnified. Joy in perspective. It doesn’t matter if I get my way. It doesn’t matter if my personal ambition is met. What matters is that Christ is magnified

    A Discontented Homeowner I’d like to tell you a story about a home-owner who was tired of his house. He’d lived there for many years, and the more he looked around at the house, the years, the neighborhood, the more he wanted to be somewhere else. Can you relate? His eyes eventually grew critical ...read more

    HoHum: From Max Lucado- “I have everything I need for joy!” Robert Reed said. His hands are twisted and his feet are useless. He can’t bathe himself. He can’t feed himself. He can’t brush his teeth, comb his hair, or put on his underwear. Strips of Velcro hold his ...read more

    The Reality Of Joy

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 28, 2023
     | 1,868 views

    What is Biblical Joy? Throughout the New Testament, we are encouraged to be joyful and to rejoice. But does that mean that we always have to be happy?

    The question that Paul seems to be trying to answer for most of this passage of scripture is, how Jewish do you have to be to be a Christian? It was the question of whether or not Christians had to follow all of the Jewish regulations and guidelines was an ongoing debate throughout the New ...read more

    The Joy Of Giving Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 29, 2023
     | 2,647 views

    The book of Philippians is, to a large extent, a thank you note from Paul to the church for their financial gift. We find that it is not only the one who receives the gift who is blessed, but the ones who gives the gift are greatly blessed.

    Philippians is considered the epistle of joy. That is because there are so many references to joy and rejoicing (over 15). There are so many references that are so prominent that Joy is considered the theme of the letter. Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice. (Philippians ...read more
