Pastor Tim contemplates sharing the joy about who Jesus is as we find ourselves on the Second Day of Christmas.
The holidays can bring back the empty chair, the family hurt, the memories of when everything felt joyful—and before long, sorrow and anxiety begin to take over. The words of Romans 8 help us in times when grief feels stronger than truth.
When we feel so far removed from the things to celebrate, can we still have a reason to rejoice?
Pastor Tim continues our exploration of the Fruit of the Spirit by looking at the opposite of “joy” in this week’s devotional.
We’re wrapping up our study of Philippians tonight. Can the very last verse of the book help us better understand how we experience “peace”?
What does true joy look like? It isn’t necessarily what we imagine.

Sometimes the deck appears to stacked and it’s hard to see how life will do anything but go from bad to worse. How do we have joy then?
