SERMON SERIES: #FINDINGJOY

SERIES DESCRIPTION:

No matter our age or our gender or our marital status or our religious affiliation, there’s something inside of all us that wants to experience joy. Finding it, though, can be difficult...unless you look in the right places. In this series, we'll explore a few key things that will enable you to joyfully thrive amidst the chaos, monotony, and let-downs of life in the real world.

PART 1: GOOD WORK

Joy is counter-intuitive. Though many expect to find it in good, easy times, they find themselves disappointed. That's because joy isn’t found hardly as much in leisure as it is in something else--something that's harder, better, and that doesn't have all that much to do with us.

PART 3: IT DOES(N'T) MATTER

#FINDINGJOY, part 3: It Does(n't) Matter

If there’s one thing that will make or break the presence of joy in your life, it’s perspective. How you process the relative importance of the blessings, experiences, possessions, relationships, and hardships that make up your daily existence changes everything.

In this sermon, we’ll be challenged the extraordinary example of two people who learned to see small things as small and big things as big.
