Monday, July 21, 2008
How joy differs from happiness; understanding that joy is based on God’s relationship with us, God’s provision for us, and God’s promises to us (based on Gal. 5:22 and other passages)
Paul Earl Sheppard has been Senior Pastor of Abundant Life Christian Fellowship Church in Mountain View, California since 1989.

A native of Philadelphia, Paul has studied at the University of Pennsylvania, the Center for Urban Theological Studies, and the Southern California School of Ministry. He holds a Master's degree in Ministry and a Doctorate of Divinity.
An effective communicator of God's Word, Paul is in constant demand as a conference speaker including I Still Do and Promise Keepers arena/stadium events. He and his wife, Meredith, were married in 1982. They have two young adult children, Alicia and Aaron.
As the speaker for Enduring Truth radio broadcast, Pastor Paul's heart's desire is to challenge and inspire America to know God's Son, apply God's Word, and fulfill God's purpose.
