Posted by Pastor Christopher Hull on

What does it mean to have a joyous marriage? Does it mean that husband and wife never argue? Is it that compromise is never a thought because both parties are always holding their tongues and just living with something they hate? What does a joyous marriage look like? Is it constant smiles...

A Joyful Heart

Posted by Pastor Christopher Hull on

"A joyful heart is good medicine," so says Proverbs 17:22.  What does it mean to have a joyful heart? Well, the rest of verse 22 says, "but a crushed spirit dries up the bones."  A joyful heart is the opposite of a crushed spirit. A crushed spirit is a despairing soul, one who has no...

An Unworldly Peace

Posted by Pastor Christopher Hull on

Jesus spoke to His apostles saying, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid" (John 14:27).  Now, when we hear the word peace we think of something like peace of mind, a calm...
