In these verses Paul makes it clear that joy is not something that just happens. Joy can be purposely pursued and its source is never bound. In Christ, we can truly have joy, always.
As we continue our study through Philippians, we see in these verses Paul's longing for the Philippians and us to press on. He gives two analogies to help us think through pressing on as Christians, athletes and aliens.
Attempting to gain righteousness by any other measure than through faith in Christ and his righteousness is worse than silly, the Apostle Paul calls it trash. It is worthless. We cannot place our identity in our achievement and expect joy.
The Bible praises risk taking when that risk taking in done in Jesus' name. Christians should be other focused, God-centered, gospel advancing risk takers for God's glory. That is what we are called to be.
Pastor David Prince continues our series through Philippians, "What Cannot Be Quarnatined."
In the midst of the darkest circumstances, even suffering, we can rest assured that God is still sovereign. That truth means that we can live with confidence and strive to walk worthy of the Gospel, not to earn God's love, but because we have and no opponent can take it away.
In the second message from our "What Cannot Be Quarantined" series, Pastor David challenges us to live for Christ over our comfort, the approval of others, and life itself.
Mother's have a unique opportunity to shape their children with the truth of the Gospel. In this drive-in message Pastor David challenges mothers to apply the Gospel daily to their lives for the sake of their children.
The people of God have one unifying foundation, the gospel. That unifying foundation allows that church to partner in joy no matter the circumstance.
