This Advent season as a church, we decided to ‘steep’ in the word Joy. Christmas is about Joy, the Christian faith is a joyous faith, and throughout scripture, we see the people of God expressing joy. As we conclude the advent season, I’d like to reflect on one more group that expressed joy. Today, January 06, is known as the Day of Epiphany.

Read MoreWe want to be a church body that supports and encourages each other in spiritual growth, and we cannot grow spiritually without immersing ourselves in the Scriptures. Let me introduce to you "Everything You Need To Know About..." or as we like to refer to it, "EYNTKA" - really rolls off the tongue. Go ahead, try it!
