Sunday In Review

It was week #3 in our series - Experiencing Joy. Here are some thoughts.

• We talked about experiencing joy in loneliness.
• We are wired for relationship.We desire to communicate and relate to other people.
• I shared some statistics about how we are spending less time with people than we were 25 years ago.
  
• Paul while in prison was separated from friends and he lived a restricted life.
• It's interesting how we see his joy towards the church at Philippi even in a situation that might seem like it is beyond hope.
• When you consider the reason for Paul's joy we see his care for the church at Philippi... we also see he mentions Jesus no less than 6 times in verses 1-11.
• Attendance was down a little because of families traveling over the holiday weekend.
• The elementary students were in the service with us.
  
• We met Sunday night to discuss buying some land. I love Lifepoint's commitment to our mission.
