What is joy? And how do you acquire it? That's the topic in this Advent message. Today, we turn to a woman who seems to be everywhere you look.

It's us against the world when it comes to living a Christian life. The world can be a strong magnet, luring us into the traps and trappings. But Paul is very clear in his letter to the Ephesians. He lays it out bluntly. Do this, don't do that. It's all a part of our transformation from followers of the world to followers of Christ.Download the sermon series booklet here.First Prez website
