New Life Downtown

What should we make of pleasure? If we were to follow the ancients, we would either abstain from pleasure, indulge it, or enjoy it moderately. But does the Gospel have more to say? After outlining three types of pleasures found in Ecclesiastes 2, Pastor Glenn Packiam helps us to see how Jesus calls us to receive pleasure as a gift, to reshape how we enjoy each pleasure, and to redirect pleasure so that it culminates in grateful praise to God.
