In a world marked by anxiety, conflict, and constant change, Jesus offers His followers something radically different: a joy that endures. In this message, we explore how the Holy Spirit brings lasting joy to those who abide in Christ.

Jesus promises His follower that their sorrow will give way to joy because He has already triumphed over the struggles of the world.

Jesus leaving the earth was the best thing that could ever happen for you! That’s what He said to His first disciples and He would say it again to us today.

The invitation to abide in Christ is an invitation for a life that is “out of this world.” There’s joy and peace that the world can’t give – and there is also persecution for not being of this world. If you abide in Christ – if you are lovingly, affectionately, securely attached to the Son of God – you will experience His joy and His peace, and, you will experience the hatred of the world.

Friendship with JesusWe are, of course, called to love and serve God – but Jesus doesn’t primarily want you as a servant, He wants you as a friend.

Come discover what it means to be a lifelong student of the greatest Teacher who ever lived.
