This week’s sermon: The Practice of Joy by Reverend Ed Brock
My sermon this Sunday follows the theme of the month for our Soul Matters groups, which is “The Practice of Joy.” It may seem counter to the spirit of our times to speak about joy. Our current political and social context does not inspire joy but rather the opposite. However, at any given moment, many things around us have the potential to inspire joy. What is needed, perhaps, is the intention to notice these things and allow them to nurture us. And don’t we need joy in our lives to sustain us in the difficult, and sometimes hard, challenges of life? I think that is what is meant by the practice of joy – joy requires our inclination, willingness, and perhaps persistence, to take in the joy of life wherever we may find it and as often as we may find it.
