The Canteen features weekly sermons from the preaching ministry of Christ Community Church. This week, we kick off a new summer series called Thieves of Joy. Over the next couple months, we'll be looking at the book of 1 John, the idea of joy in Christ, and how to sustain it amidst all the things in life that threaten to snatch it away. Pastor Blake begins the series this week with a reflection on where joy in Christ comes from in the first place. Our text for this message is 1 John 1:1-4. This sermon was originally preached at CCC on 5/15/22.
