Embracing Unspeakable Joy Amidst Trauma In this sermon, our Co-Director of Community Formation Antonio Ingram explores the concept of 'unspeakable joy' that transcends circumstances and finds its root in faith in a victorious risen Christ. He discusses the challenges of experiencing genuine joy amidst trauma, using personal anecdotes and biblical examples, particularly focusing on the figure of Miriam in Exodus. Antonio also reflects on the experiences of the Pentecostal Black Church and how unspeakable joy served as a means of liberation for African Americans. The message highlights the importance of choosing to invite God's presence into our pain and using worship as a way to encounter divine joy that defies reason and logic.
