Reese LeRoy | On this third Sunday of Advent, our focus is the joy of God’s kingdom.  This joy is not something we can engineer.  It is a grace – a gift of God that is rooted in faith in Him and an awareness of His presence with us at all times. With the story of the Wise Men, we see that joy is a pursuit of the heart that leads us to worship and results in blessings of direction and protection for our lives.
