Our country is in the middle of a tense political season. It’s at a time like this that Christians are called to act like, well, Christians! St. Paul gives us nine virtues (the “fruit of the spirit”) that we should cultivate in ourselves to best express God’s true nature. This week’s fruit is joy. What is joy, how can I express it when life gets messy, and what does Jesus say about it? These are all questions Pastor Jim addresses in this message.
