The latest issue of JOY! Magazine is now on sale
Wishing a blessed Christmas to all our JOY! readers. As we enter this holy season, we remember again that everything begins and ends with Jesus. He is the One who gives Christmas its meaning.
This month’s issue of JOY! Magazine takes us back to the manger and the wonder of a Saviour who came to save a broken world. Our cover sermon reminds us that Christ came to offer true redemption and eternal hope.
Inside this issue, you will find Biblical teaching to steady your heart at the end of the year. We look at living with conviction in a compromising culture, when opinions become idols, and how to walk in holiness. There are articles on raising children who know the Saviour, leaving a God-honouring legacy, guarding our words in an age of noise, and trusting God when feelings waver.
Our Christmas prayer for you is that His peace will rule in your heart and home. “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given...” (Isaiah 9:6).
