Ministry and the Christian life bring both deep joy and real sorrow. In 1 Thessalonians 2:17-20, Paul shows how we can walk in genuine love, persevere in the face of spiritual opposition, and live with an eternal perspective. Whether celebrating God’s work or grieving life’s pain, we can cling to Christ, invest in people, and find joy that lasts forever. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.
