Reflections: December 13-14, 2008

This week's "Reflection" by Jeff Taylor, Pastor of Teaching & Youth

Does joy have to be so elusive? Does the Christmas season have to be a joyless time? How can we get joy to stick? The four things we talked about this week in regards to joy were:
  1. Choose to believe truth. (You are a loved and forgiven child of God.)
  2. Choose to do right. (Right and wrong choices both effect our ability to have joy.)
  3. Choose to live joyfully. (Sometimes joy is something we have to choose to find and acknowledge.)
  4. Choose to remain in God's love. (Love people and live fearlessly.)
How are you doing with joy? What are some ways that you find joy in the midst of difficult circumstances? Your responses could be a huge encouragement for those struggling with joy. Please re-gift joy to us all with your stories of joy from your own life.

    Maybe it is just the season, but I just loved this one. Many times in the year I can see the joy Jeff has while speaking to all the church members. So he was the perfect person to present this service on "Joy". I just had to view this one again & am glad that I can do so on my computer. Thank you to all who work so hard that we can enjoy this service again on our computers.
