Princeton Theological Seminary

September 6, 2018 | Miller Chapel

Opening Communion for the 2018–19 Academic Year

Preacher: M. Craig Barnes, president and professor of pastoral ministry

Sermon: “Choosing Joy” (Ecclesiastes 9:7-10)

"So eat your bread with enjoyment, and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God long ago approved of what you do."

We tend to think more seriously about the spirituality of the cross and suffering, then we do the spirituality of having a merry heart. But God has approved our joy.
