The world around us is desperately searching for joy; looking for any anchor of hope; and God has entrusted the church, as his new creation, to serve society by giving a glimpse, however fleeting, of a brighter tomorrow that begins today. The church is born in a world of turmoil, born through the adversity of the Cross of Christ, and through the scars of affliction we point weary travelers towards certainty - a celestial city filled with purest delight and absolute joy! The assurance of our joy comes from the indestructible life of Jesus.
