This fall we've been concentrating on values that we have here at Christ the King: so far, we've talked about Caring, Acceptance, and Family.  In December we turn to Joy as our worship emphasis.  

Last week we heard that "joy" in the Bible is the result of what happens when Jesus shows up on the scene - whether it's John the Baptist's joy that, even while he was in prison, he knew that his job as "best man" for Jesus the Bridegroom was complete, or our joy that, even while we're still here on earth, Jesus is in the process of taking us home to heaven to join Him, the angels, and those we love who are already there.

This week we'll hear that "joy" in the Bible results not only when Jesus shows up on the scene, but even when someone just hears the news that Jesus has come.    I'm joined today by special guest Mr Randy Hall of the Gideons International.  You can learn more about the ministry of the Gideons here: https://gideons.org/
