If there is one characteristic that symbolizes the Christian faith, it is JOY! In fact in addition to the Radical Roots of Gratitude and Faith, Joy is one thing that keeps a believer well \u201crooted\u201d when times of suffering and challenge arise in our lives. Philippians 4: 4 says, \u201cAlways be full of JOY in the Lord. I say it again\u2014rejoice!\u201d Wait, what?! How is that even possible, THIS year?! This Sunday I will share a message on \u201cSIX REASONS WHY A CHRISTIAN CAN HAVE RADICAL JOY\u201d (regardless of their circumstances!)<\/p><p>On December 13th at 11:15 AM (PST) join us for CONNECT WORSHIP right here: https:\/\/youtu.be\/NLXD_lydCNY .<\/p><p>Additionally, next Sunday the 20th, I will be sharing a special Christmas message on the \u201cRadical Root of LOVE\u201d, and it will be an evangelistic message. Please invite your not-yet-believing friends to tune in to our worship on the 20th! With that in mind, I would like to include some of your short, recorded testimonies and Christmas wishes. Please send them to my email in the next couple of days.
