Laughter and Joy

When people think of your faith, does a smile come to their face?

Too often, Christians are known for what they are against, or for a stern, somber demeanor that suggests godliness is synonymous with gloom. But I want to challenge that notion. The joy of the Lord isn’t a quiet, hidden secret; it is meant to be a contagious force that brightens every room you enter.

In this delightful video, “Laughter and Joy,” we explore the magnetic power of a cheerful heart. An infectious faith isn’t just about winning arguments or quoting scripture; it’s about radiating a warmth and happiness that makes others ask, “What is it that you have?”

In this refreshing reminder, we will see:

  • The Ministry of Smiling: How a simple expression of joy can be a powerful testimony to God’s love.
  • Contagious Christianity: Why laughter and lightheartedness are essential tools for drawing others to Christ.
  • Breaking the Gloom: Overcoming the stereotype of the “angry religious person” by living out the true joy of the Spirit.

Let’s decide today to be the kind of believers who spread laughter as freely as we spread the Gospel. After all, joy is the serious business of heaven!

From Promise to Presence

Everlasting Light: A Journey from Promise to Presence

From December 1 to 25, let the advent devotional Everlasting Light move you into a spirit of waiting, reflection, and preparation for Christ’s arrival.

Written by our Spanish pastor Carlos Zazueta (and also available in Spanish), this book includes quotes from Pastor Chuck to recenter your heart each day.

Insight for Living Broadcast

I didn't know much about grace, so I decided to read The Grace Awakening. I have learned a lot about letting people be different than me and realizing that God's grace doesn't condemn me but rather forgives and covers me with His righteousness! I shouldn't be a perfectionist because I can never do everything perfectly. If I let God work through me though, I will be living a life pleasing to Him! —T. Z. from Oklahoma
