Joy City
This life in Christ provides us residency in Joy City. When life's challenges, struggles and hardships seem overwhelming, we look back to the First Century Church to find strength to persevere. After they were persecuted and fled, God used them in such a way that great joy was found in that city. Come join us in this City of Joy and celebrate with us and become even stronger and healthier for the Body of Christ. Jesus spoke these words, "...I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you and that your joy may be made full." The greatest and most complete joy only has its source in the divine joy provided in following Jesus Christ.

Counting it all Joy in Joy City
Indomitable joy in the midst of suffering & sorrow is the topic of this recording. This calls for a meteoric mind shift, that God is most glorified when we are most satisfied in Him. Not in our situations or circumstances or the roller coaster of life, but that we find our joy in the Lord. Consider some "Thank Therapy" as we enter the Thanksgiving holiday, list 20 things each day that you are thankful for. Now you may of never imagined the earth's orbit? That God keeps us spinning, just the right distance from the sun? Or even the air we breath? Those are things to be thankful for.
So James is instructing us to make a deliberate choice to see your trials as an opportunity for joy. God bless you all and happy Thanksgiving.
