Opening Communion for the 2018–19 Academic Year
Preacher: M. Craig Barnes, president and professor of pastoral ministry
Sermon: “Choosing Joy” (Ecclesiastes 9:7-10)
"So eat your bread with enjoyment, and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God long ago approved of what you do."
We tend to think more seriously about the spirituality of the cross and suffering, then we do the spirituality of having a merry heart. But God has approved our joy.
