This week's message:
"Joyful Living:
Rejoice"

Listen to previous messages

Paul learned the art of being content in any situation. Through Christ Jesus, he found peace and rejoiced in all circumstances. We struggle with this and get weighed down in the world because we try to rely on ourselves. In this way, peace is hard, maybe impossible, to find. But through Christ, peace is not only possible, God promises it. To unbelievers, this deep peace doesn't make sense. But as believers, we know that all things are possible through Christ-peace, strength, joy-and because of that, we are able to rejoice, even in the midst of pain, sorrow,  and trouble.
