This is the fourth and final message in my series on JOY. We examine five areas in which Christians can choose to live joyously in a world desperate, hopeless, and very often, joyless.

This message wraps up this series on JOY by answering the two questions we all ask when joy eludes us - Who stole my joy? How do I get it back?

JOY in our lives. This week we examine what Jesus and the Apostle Paul had to say about Joy. It is a gift of the Holy Spirit so it must be important and something He wants to be prominent in our lives as blood-bought Christians.

This message and the one next week examine the Scripture to help us understand what biblical lasting joy is; how we lose it and how we get it back!

Many Christians will fact check me whe I say the phrases childlike faith or faith of a child do not appear in Jesus' teachings. They do not. However what He said and taught using children as examples lead people their use. In this message, I share five keywords that challenge you to consider your "childlike" relationship with Him.

In this message, Walter takes us thru what Paul wrote to Timothy about "these (former) things and how we cleanse ourselves from them so we cah be "vessels for horor" to the Lord.

Pastoral searches lead the way for churches in transition. Drawing from decades of experience in leadership and strategy, Walter shares three questions from a biblical perspective that leaders (and individuals) must ask and answer as they approach or find themselves in this place.

If you are a Christian, do not go into battles with invisible enemies without being equipped. If you do not know how or what that means, you MUST listen to this message.

Reminding Christians of that reality then and now!

Jesus spoke often about our spiritual enemies as He taught His disciples, warning them about their present and future danger. So I warn you in the first part of this series...
