Welcome to Maple Hill
This Week’s Lesson
Rooted in Joy - “The Joy of the LORD is Your Strength!” (Nehemiah 8:8-10)
Sometimes it is hard to have joy, even in our relationship with God.
Joy is hard when we are regularly reminded of our failures. Joy is difficult when we are enduring the consequences of our own bad choices. Though we might have had joy before in our relationship with God, life happens. Sin happens. And joy is a challenge.
Yet the Scriptures show us how vital that joy for us as we face the struggles of this life and as we seek to have a renewed relationship with God.
Joy cannot be optional. It cannot peripheral. Joy is essential.
This Sunday morning at Maple Hill we will see that joy is a source of strength in the toughest of moments, especially when we are picking up the pieces of our broken lives. We will see that joy is not something to ignore or overlook. Instead, creating joy within our hearts must be a constant practice for us in our walk with God.
