Joy is a gift from God. One gift of Joy in the form of Jesus, born in Bethlehem, is given to the whole world. Yet so many of us aren’t feeling the "Joy to the World" stuff. Many are fearful, lonely, and anxious this Christmas Season.

Out of everything that God could’ve given us, nothing is better than the gift of His Son.

Because of difficulties in our lives, many of us feel like we aren’t going to make it in life. For some, it’s hard to make it through the day. Others have given up. Our Faith has FAILED.

Dr. Ozzie Smith speaks about knowing Jesus. It looks different in different people, and we all come to Jesus at different times in different ways. But those differences disappear when we all come to the same table, asking for strength and deliverance.
