This coming Sunday, the third Sunday of Advent, will focus on Joy. Joy is not a feeling but a state of being. It is the result of being in right relationship with God. It is also a descriptive aspect of the fruit of the Holy Spirit (Gal. 5:22). Like the wisemen (Matt. 10:2 NIV), we should be overjoyed when we anticipate the coming of the Messiah. Let us live in such a way, that when Jesus returns to earth, and we see the signs of his coming, we will "rejoice with exceeding great joy!" (Matt. 2:10 KJV)

A Much Needed Gift
|
Please consider putting the church building fund on your Christmas list as a gift above and beyond your tithes. One of our air conditioning systems has gone down, and it may cost upwards of $15,000 to repair it! Our building and equipment have reached the age where repairs and replacements are becoming more frequent. Let’s all work together to take care of God’s house.
