Recreate Church, Pastor Michael Shockley—Service, Sunday, December 10, 2023

Joy to the (Messed Up) World. Today, Pastor Michael is talking about our current world where the stress and the struggle can pile on!  Christmas amps it up, with all the shopping crowds and noise.  If only life weren’t so full of chaos! So, we should strive for inner peace: true joy is inner contentment despite outer conflict.  How can we have this?  How can we get this? Jesus = Joy!  If you want joy in this messed up world, you’ll have to gain inner contentment, and the only way to have that is to have Jesus in the right place in your life. Jesus is coming again to bring peace on earth, but first, He came to bring peace in us!  Verses can be found in Luke 2: 8-20 and Isaiah 65: 17-25.
