The truth is that life is not always good – we suffer, have disease, lose loved ones, go through hard times. Is joy possible through these times too? While difficult, even in times of hardship, we can be people of joy because we know that this is not the end. No matter what the trial or hardship, we await a day that Jesus will come and make things right again. That means that even in our hardest times, we can have an underlying joy. Paul speaks about this to the Romans… do not consider these trials to be the end. We wait for God’s victory - so we have joy in the interim. Audio from Megan's sermon on May 25, 2025.
