The Good Shepherd: Joy | Adam Hendrix

We often confuse happiness with joy. Happiness is situational, and dependent on outside circumstances. Joy, on the other hand, is a deep and pervasive sense of well-being and care, regardless of the circumstances. In this sermon, we explore where joy comes from and how we can have joy in any season because God is with me.

Practice being present with God, realizing that this moment is a gift, that God is near, and his goodness and love follow you.

Christmas is a time to celebrate God coming to be with us! This year, we have two online Christmas services, and we hope you will celebrate Christmas with us at one or both of these online services. Go to http://menlo.church to learn more and find digital invitations which you can send to your friends and let them know when you will be watching!

Do you want to give to those in need? Throughout November and December, we are partnering with local organizations to offer serving opportunities that adults and kids of all ages can safely do together. Learn more and sign up online at http://menlo.church/serveyourcity
