    For there is a joy, a deep, divine joy that beckons our souls…and seeks to break forth at this time of year. So often this great joy can find itself clouded by the complexity of all our activity.

    This morning, before we finish our gathering together and head into this final week before Christmas, we will have an opportunity to declare in song that marvelous refrain…“Joy to the World, the Lord has come let earth receive her King.” For there is a joy, a deep, divine joy that beckons our ...read more

    We find joy by saturating our minds and hearts with the future promises of God.

    This morning, I’d like to talk about joy. How does that statement make you feel? Hopeful? Glad? Or does it arouse feelings of apprehension? Joy is a funny topic. You would expect that people would enjoy hearing about joy; that they would welcome a discourse on such a positive topic. But I’ll bet ...read more

Thinking of this week’s subject, joy, I was having a tough time getting my mind around the idea. Joy, according to ...read more
