“And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with singing; everlasting joy; shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.”  Isaiah 35:10

 

Rev. Banks message titled “The Miracles of Christmas: Joy with scripture text taken from John 21.  David told about a time he and the family chose a Golden Retriever and how the owner made sure the one they chose was the one that belonged in their family.  He did get a little teary eyed telling this story for that special Golden Retriever was with them a long time, but just recently went to dog heaven. Rev. Banks always brings in human stories in his messages and it really makes a difference bringing us closer to God.
