Capturing Joy: It Can Be Found in the Strangest of Places
Paul wrote Philippians from a prison cell, yet it overflows with joy, and that tension is exactly where this series begins. Working through the letter from start to finish, these seven sermons reveal that joy is not a feeling to be chased but a byproduct of knowing Christ, praying with thankfulness, living with humility, and releasing what we treasure for something greater. Along the way, the sermons tackle fear, pride, disunity, and the prosperity gospel, showing how each finds its answer in the finished work of Jesus. By the end, listeners will have a richer and more honest picture of what it means to flourish as a follower of Christ in any circumstance.
