Summary

What would it be like to have unhindered, abundant joy in the midst of all circumstances? The beauty of the joy God longs to give is that it’s not fleeting or temporary. It is sustaining, strong and true. As we continue to discover what it means to live for heaven, today we look at what it means for us to be marked by joy.

Our Scripture for today comes from Proverbs 10:28, and today's worship is Garments by Cory Asbury.
