Assembly of God
There are plenty of people with sour expressions and equally sour dispositions. People who are full of joy are the pleasant exception. Christians should be the exception. Though the world is full of bad news and despair, those whose lives are built on Jesus Christ and the confident assurance of the salvation he offers can have an unshakable daily joy, despite outward circumstances. That means through sickness, misfortune, war, loss or even death, nothing can steal one’s God-given joy. Happiness is temporal. Joy is eternal. Pastor Chuck Franco will share a sermon titled “Joy, Our Testimony,” from John 15:11 on Sunday, Nov. 5.
The Wednesday Bible study group begins a new study, “Faith in Hostile Times,” by Berni Dymet on Nov. 8. So many people question what the world is coming to in these volatile times. Even those who have been Christians for decades can be saddened and discouraged by world events and the challenge to Biblical values and societal norms. But there is hope, and there are answers in God’s word. There is room for all residents in this group of students who focus on God’s eternal truth and its application to contemporary life.
