The Church is supposed to be a people of joy.\xa0 That would seem to be a statement that could go without being said.\xa0 But, very often, we find those who call themselves "the Church" to be dour and mournful, not joyful.
There are plenty of reasons to grieve about the spiritual condition of our world. \xa0 But there are also many reasons to be joyful. \xa0
We are continuing in our study of 1 Thessalonians by looking\xa0 at chapters 2 through 3; The Church, A People of Joy.\xa0
