Essential Joy

Guest Speaker
December 3, 2022

In this special Christmas message, guest speaker Robin Jones Gunn shared her personal life story as she gently challenged us to trust God when life doesn't go the way we thought it would, and even when our plans seem to fall apart. She reminded us of the essentiality of true joy, freedom, and purpose found in the presence of Jesus.
