Do you experience joy in the realities of God’s Kingdom? Often we are head down in the daily routine, worn by the grind to provide for our future, and faltering under the weight of too many decisions and relationships, but the gospel promises a greater joy. The Apostle Paul had joy because his Thessalonian friends held onto faith in Jesus beyond their circumstances. I hope you will come to encourage others and be encouraged yourselves to see the joy in the realities of faith in Jesus. Please take the time to read 1 Thessalonians 2:19-3:13 and feel free to invite a friend to join you for worship. See you all Sunday,
