    Encourages finding peace and joy amidst the holiday season's busyness, by focusing on God's promises and casting off anxiety through prayer and thanksgiving.

    Good morning, dear friends. We gather here, as we do each week, in fellowship and faith. We come together, in this sacred space, to share in the Word of God. Today, we turn to Philippians, the fourth chapter, verses six through eight. Let us hear the words of the Apostle Paul: "Do not be anxious ...read more

     | 4,267 views

    "I believe that the secret lies in the way Jesus looked at people, seeing beyond their weaknesses and failings"

    Thursday of 15th Week in Course Wisdom is depicted as having a feminine nature; from that the Fathers of the Church applied much of what we read in the Book of Wisdom either to the Blessed Virgin Mary or to the Church. But that has more to do with linguistics than theology. In Greek, the word ...read more

    If you and I have Jesus in common, our faith and love and passion for Christ will naturally be for each other as well.

    THE JOY OF BEING ONE I have a theory. It is a simple theory based on my observations of the Church. Here’s the theory: Put two people in the same room, leaving them alone, and in time they will find something to disagree about. I told you it was simple. The theory itself is one that I have ...read more

    How many admonishing or warning songs or hymns can you find?

    Today the Church takes a break from the penitential color violet (often referred to as purple) which symbolizes penance particularly because Pilate dressed Jesus in a purple robe to mock his kingship. Today, however, is Gaudete Sunday and the color is Rose (often referred to as pink) as we ...read more

    Joy flourishes when we pursue contentment in Christ.

    Throughout this series, we’ve explored how defiant joy flourishes in the life of a believer. This defiant joy is anchored in Christ and not swayed by circumstances. Each week, I’ve shared a core truth from each section of the book of Philippians, and I want to briefly remind you of those this ...read more

    The Spirit is the source of our joy.

    Fruit of the Spirit – JOY Galatians 5:22-3 What is this thing called Joy? Joy is a rather illusive thing to define. It’s like happiness, but it is much deeper than happiness, it is like pleasure but it is deeper than pleasure. C. Davis in the Evangelical Dictionary of Theology says this: “A ...read more

    Pain Turned Into Joy Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 12, 2009
    based on 12 ratings
     | 18,456 views

    It seems unreal that pain could be turned into joy. Yet pain is the very stuff of joy. It will come, not instantaneously, but completely. The risen Christ proves this, and can transform our disappointments, disillusionments, and shame into joy.

    “You will have pain, but y our pain will turn into joy.” That brings back memories of the doctor’s office and that giant needle moving ever closer. “This will hurt a little bit.” A little bit! When you are a year old, it hurts a lot, and there is no joy in it. No, I do not remember being one ...read more

    Bottom Line: Joy flourishes when we share in God’s mission together.

    Happy New Year! I’m so thankful that you’ve joined us in worship today! Let me guess — some of us probably made a resolution or two, did some self-evaluation, and set a few goals for the upcoming year. That’s something most of us do, and let me just say it’s a good thing. It’s important to take a ...read more

    There is something about doing the right thing that brings a “joy” … a sense of peace, assurance, righteousness … that comes from doing the right thing for the right reason … whatever may befall us as we do the right thing for right reason.

    THE CHARACTER OF A DISCIPLE: JOY Scripture: 1st Peter 1:3-9 We are all familiar with the horrors that Jesus went through during His arrest and crucifixion: The betrayal.

    Joy is the normal condition for believers. In the quiet of this moment, identify your source of happiness for a moment. Ask yourself, “What made me happy that is now missing in my life?” What fire have I been warming myself at instead of Jesus?

    Happy Father’s Day to all! Dads and granddads, we greatly appreciate you! Good Morning to our Cross Church family meeting at Nance Elementary again this morning. Let me ask you a serious question, “What would like to change about your home?” If you could change one thing about your roommate, what ...read more
