Joy In Trials?!

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Feb 18, 2022

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!

The Joy Of The Lord

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 25, 2022

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

The Joy Of Giving

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 12, 2022

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?

Count It As Joy

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jul 8, 2024

When faced with the ungodly things of this world, the Bible tells us to "count it all joy." This message looks at how we can do that.

Count it all Joy Good evening to the Lord’s beloved. Would you please open to Hebrews 12? I “joined” church when I was 10 years old. Back then it meant the same thing as accepting Jesus.

Secret Of Joy Series

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on May 30, 2024

How helpless is man though he holds position, power, wealth and fame! Not knowing what is lying ahead, all he has are a loan from his creator God- leaving everything here on this side of the eternity when he departs this world.

Live today! Never miss today’s blessings. God is a God of present tense. He calls Himself “ I am that I am”. Many of us dream of a better future when we can enjoy the life comfortably without the struggles we have now. It is only a human hope, with no sound base (Proverbs 19:21) . None of us know ...read more

The Joy Of Giving Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 29, 2023

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
