As we enter a new decade, expect the wondrous. This message builds on the events in Jesus' life recorded in Mark's gospel that clearly indicate two foundations we can build into our lives for wonderful things to happen by being intentional.

Christmas time is a time where we tend to feel joyful. Gifts are exchanged, meals are shared, carols are sung, and decorations are sparkling. It's what some people call, "the most wonderful time of the year," and it comes and goes every December. But is that it? Should we only "feel" joy just once a year? In this message, we'll discuss what true joy looks like.

We all need an a-ha moment with God. An understanding, or maybe just a deep reminder, of the significance His light shines on our lives. Without it, we are fumbling around in the darkness.

As our church celebrates Baptism Sunday with many stories of life change, we'll go to the book of Mark to explore a man who had a dramatic life change and received a surprising rejection from Jesus. As we listen closely to Jesus's reasoning, we just might discover He'd say the same to us.

There is no shortcut to an elevated faith in God. Valleys of doubt are necessary on the journey to the summit of great faith. Watch this and other messages in video at www.islandecc.hk/messages.
