The Joy Project

Joy for the journey.

Daily devotion and practical tools for the life of the church.

The church is the focus of the life of faith. The Trinity teaches us that relationship is the foundational piece of all of creation, and the church mirrors this truth.

"And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near."

Hebrews 10:24–25 · ESV
