Circumstances often drive whether we have joy or not, and the reality is that joy is possible in Christ regardless of circumstances.

We often spend our lives searching for peace in a variety of ways, and we ultimately discover the true peace we are after is found in Christ alone.

Isaiah, foretelling Jesus’ coming, tells us "those in darkness will see a great light." What does that mean for us? As we see how God brings light out of darkness, we see this is the story of our faith - Jesus came as the light of the world to bring peace and joy to us. But it doesn’t stop there, He then uses us to bring that same light to others.

While we often try many ways to work through life’s different situations, the most powerful way is prayer and confession.

We all face challenging moments in our lives, and God’s way for us to face these moments is the way of steadfast patience.
