Fearless Joy
It’s Christmas time; let the battle begin! Battle? Buring the holidays please say it’s not so! Yet for most people the days leading up to Christmas are filled with a battle between the stress of the holidays and the Joy we know we should feel with the celebration of the birth of the promised messiah! In fact our speaker this month, Rick Atchley, contends that, just like when Christ was born, fear and stress are major players during the Christmas season.

This month, Rick Atchley, lead minister with the Hills Church in Fort Worth Texas, has been unpacking why, despite all the anxiety and stress, Christmas should make us bold… because, there’s something about Jesus coming that makes fear shrink back. Today’s message is entitled “Fearless Joy.”
