Welcome to the second part of our advent series for 2024! Mike is sharing on joy... not just a superficial joy, but joy for every season.
1. Joy Defies Circumstance
2. Grows In Community
3. Invites Us Into God's Upside Down Kingdom
"Consumerism only bloats the heart. It can offer occasional and passing pleasures, but not joy" - Pope Francis
