Life can be hard. Life can be lonely. Life can be overwhelming.How do you smile in the middle of life? How do you find joy while facing tough stuff? How do you embrace what you are going through without getting too serious or too silly? Where is the balance? What is the source of such balance?
Today, we begin a new series of messages at Calvary Community Church entitled: "(Re)Joy - Embracing life without being silly." The Apostle Paul writes from a prison cell. Not because of some horrific crime is he sitting in a Roman jail with the constant companionship of Roman guards. No, he is there because he told everyone he could about a man named Jesus and how He changes lives for the better. He is in prison for doing good stuff, for doing God's work.
How can he explain to some people who are special to him about joy from a prison?
Join us on this journey through Paul's letter to the church at Philippi and find out how Paul finds the balance of joy!

Shawn,
I listen to the podcasts during my lunch at my desk. I'm anxiously awaiting the series on "Joy."

I spoke to 3 of the 4 people on the list that you mentioned on Sunday. Peter, is a friend I found in comfort. He was the leader of my small group at Rocky Peak. I told him how amazing he was and how his energy, trust and confidence helped me. He was down and out about how the group seems to be lagging lately. I made his evening and revitalized his passion to be of service and lead. The other two very similar stories. Great stuff.
