BEGINNING WITH JOY
The stories from early in Jesus’ life and ministry give us glimpses of a meaningful, joyful life. An alternative to the “try harder” or “do better” mentality common at the beginning of a new year with its emphasis on resolutions and plans, this series helps us find the joy already present in our lives, grounded in God’s continuous presence.
