    Joy is fruit of the Spirit creating the realistic Pollyanna Christian response - everything is going to be alright because Jesus has come and will return.

    Two weeks ago, we began a new series entitled: Batteries Not Included. There is nothing more frustrating than wanting play with your new toys and finding out the package had this hidden line - batteries not included. 2020 seems to be a gift without batteries. How do find hope, peace, joy and love ...read more

    Selective Memory Series

     | 11,590 views

    We use selective memory either to remember only pleasant things (denial) or only negative things (pessimism). God’s memory is an occasion of grace, for which we can be grateful.

    The longer we live, the more there is to remember. And yet the more we remember, the more we forget as well. Isn’t that ironic? The longer we live, the more there is to remember. And yet the more we remember, the more we forget as well. That could be due to several things. That could be ...read more

    Joy Series

     | 12,247 views

    God created us as emotional beings, yet even our emotions should come into captivity to Christ. This message on joy is the first in a series on human emotions.

    Back in the summer, Disney’s Pixar Studios hit yet another home run with the film Inside Out. The film enters the mind of eleven-year-old Riley, and personifies five dominant emotions: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust. The five characters in Riley’s head, led by Joy, man a control ...read more

Perhaps some of his friends try to comfort him by saying, "You know, it all works out for the best." Try as he might, he cannot bring ...read more

    Forewarned is forearmed. Wisdom not only guides us in our choices, it helps us anticipate what we may expect to see.

    Wisdom: What We Can Expect (Proverbs 24:7-12) 1. A lot of times folks get very superstitious about finding God’s will. And, more often than not, they want God’s will to be their will, and somehow make it so. 2. By the time Bobby arrived, the football game had already started. "Why ...read more

    Paul provides four keys to experiencing the inward and abiding peace that only God can give.

    In our last study, as we considered the first five verses of this last Chapter of the Philippian letter, we saw how that Paul urged the importance of there being “harmony in the Lord.” That is, the Apostle stressed the necessity of their being peace between members of the Body of Christ.
