    Joy has often been defined as happiness; as a feeling; true, Biblical Joy has more to do with Faith than it has to do with feeling.

[4] But, let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” ? A certain elderly lady was ...read more

His eyes eventually grew critical ...read more

    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

    Psalm 51 is the great Psalm of forgiveness and mercy. There is in this Psalm the tragic reality of sin and the realization of how sin separates us from God. This is the Psalm that David comes face to face with his sin.

    The Joy of Forgiveness Psalm 51 The spark that started the fire of the first great awakening was a sermon delivered by Jonathan Edwards called, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.” When the Jonathan Edwards preached this sermon, you could almost not call it preaching. He read a manuscript ...read more

    God puts a really interesting proposition in front of us. He says, “Put me to the test” when it comes to your money. “Try it my way,” God says, “and see if my way works.”

    There is a distinct difference between happiness and the joy that Christ offers in a loving and obedient relationship with Him.

    WHY DO SO MANY CHRISTIANS FAIL TO EXPERIENCE REAL JOY AND REAL PEACE? COULD IT BE THAT TOO MANY ARE CAUGHT UP IN THE “PASSING PLEASURES” OF THIS WORLD? MAYBE THEY HAVE LET THE WAYS OF LIFE DISTRACT THEM AWAY FROM FAITH AND GOD. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE CALLING THEMSELVES A “CHRISTIAN” ...read more

    Joy In Trials?!

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Feb 18, 2022
     | 2,817 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

    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

    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.
