On this sixth weekend of Easter, we focused on John 16:16-24 under the theme “We Have Deep and Lasting Joy.” In this section of Scripture, Christ promises to return after His resurrection and turn the disciples’ sorrow into joy. Human sorrow can become an expression of self-pity, hindering genuine prayer for God’s help and deliverance. Yet, God knows how to turn our sorrow into joy, and He promises to hear our prayer for Jesus’ sake.

We experienced technical difficulties today, but we managed to post this morning’s sermon. We hope to have everything repaired next week.
