A Season of Joy

Event Details

We are entering into the Christmas season, a time in which we celebrate with joy, the birth of our Savior! I would like us to spend some time reflecting on the Joy of the Lord, all that He does to bring joy into our lives, and ways that we can bring joy to others. I believe that focusing on joy is a key component to our overall spiritual, mental and physical health, and hope that you all will join us!

Karen Pietrantonio Hello everyone! I'm sorry it's been so long since I posted; as we all know, life happens and sometimes it's just a flurry of activity, stress, or busy-ness! And here we are - 12 days before Christmas, and I don't even have all the decorations put up. No baking done, and struggling to find a place to make time for it all. Thank you, everyone, for being an active presence, and for all the prayers and love y'all send our way. Much love to you all!

Attending
Camille Grayson Love the new way of doing the daily devotional with the video

Attending
Ruth Martin I've been very lost for the last few months. . .medical problems both physical and mental, spiritual rut because I can't seem to accept that He loves me no matter what, also because my past failures have been brought up by various people and the pain is so strong still.

Attending
Carol Pady 1 John 4:7-12 New International Version (NIV) God’s Love and Ours 7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

Attending
Teresa Bridges THE ROAD TO DAMASCUS On my road to Damascus, so rocky and cold I stumbled and fell blindly looking for the goal not knowing that only time would tell and take me away from a living hell. The path I wanted to take was not an easy one, but one filled with sorrow, pain and adversity leaving my inside feeling all twisted and bruised. Like Paul, I was blinded and could not see that this hopelessness I felt was only a ruse to cover up the hunger I would not fill until I gave in to the one who would heal all my ills. The day I accepted that Jesus is the way and the life I gave up all pain and sadness all troubles and strife, to be replaced by an indescribable gladness to be in his mercy and grace. To have HIS love is all I hope for My longing is to gaze into his beautiful face, To spread the news of Him and all he has done and tell of his promises that he will fulfill. Jesus died a horrible and cruel death to prove his love giving us a gift so precious and true knowing this and that he is still watching over us from above is a comfort and a joy for both me and you. When that road to Damascus gets too long and rocky listen with your heart for his precious voice Jesus will come to the rescue, just wait and see because we will have eternity to be with him and rejoice! © Teresa Bridges aka ifnotforhim Acts 9: 1-19
