A People of Joy
21st Century disciples of Jesus find themselves a Re-created people, a Pentecost people, a Beloved people, a Missional people, a ‘Being’ people, and fully equipped to respond to today’s wide-ranging set of challenges – as a people of JOY. With endless love and a changeless Savior, this peculiar people can still stand, can still bask in confidence in the award-winning power of the living Word of God. Never has a people known greater provision. Never has a people known such gifted, daily replenishment of all that is needed of compassion and mercy for the journey.
