Renegade Joy – Series Begins May 24

“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” –Philippians 4:4-7

God wants to help us all experience joy. Joy doesn’t come from the things that our culture says can make us happy. Joy is a very counter-cultural, renegade thing.

In this series we’ll help people experience and delve into the difference between happiness (a response to what is happening around us) and joy (a response to what is happening within us) and some of the key dynamics of living a more joy-filled life. The book of Philippians will be our Biblical guide to renegade joy. Philippians is known as one of the prison epistles, as Paul wrote it from Rome while awaiting trial. It’s called “The Epistle of Joy” and it’s written from prison awaiting trial that could result in death.
