Because I'm happy...

There are plenty of things that make me happy.

This weather makes me happy – plus Punxsutawney Phil didn’t see his shadow. Early Spring is on the way! And if you want to get a little laugh you can watch it here 😊.

The Kansas City Chiefs are headed back to another Super Bowl! And my, didn’t they look good! I have some thoughts on the Justin Tucker Vs. Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce altercation, but you will have to come on Sunday 😊. The Chiefs winning the AFC Championship makes me happy.

Good food makes me happy. Family and friends make me happy. Great gatherings at church make me happy. Health makes me happy…Well-behaved kids make me happy 😊. I could go on…

What if it’s cold outside? Or if you lived in Baltimore…😊…too soon? What if your health wasn’t great or life didn’t seem to be going well?

The short answer is yes, and the longer answer is yes, and when you are glad and rejoice despite circumstances you are a light in a dark world.

When you choose joy and not complaining, you are testifying about your faith in Christ. When you make sacrifices empowered by God’s grace you have a good reason to be glad and rejoice.

This Sunday, I look forward to sharing a sermon from Philippians 2:12-18 about the truth that when Christ transforms our lives, we shine as lights in a dark world. This is a part of our verse-by-verse sermon series through Philippians entitled, “The Good Life of Christ.”

Between us, I hope our joy and gladness are not tested a week from Sunday with a disappointing loss, so I’m already believing we are going to run it back.

I look forward to sharing much more on Sunday. I look forward to seeing you at 8:00, 9:15 (Full KidCity available), or 10:45 am (Full KidCity available), or you can watch the Livestream on YouTube (Like and Subscribe) or Facebook at 9:15 am. Additionally, we are also publishing our sermons on Spotify.

Have a great weekend,

Troy
