Philippians

Joy in the Christian life is not found by ignoring our trials, but by seeing them in light of what God is doing through them. In Philippians 1:12–18, Paul shows us that when Christ and His gospel are advancing, we have reason to rejoice even in difficult circumstances.

Big Idea: When Christ and His gospel are our greatest concern, even trials become occasions for joy.

1. See God at Work in Your Trials (12-14)
2. Put Gospel Advance Above Personal Ambition (15-18a)
3. Let the Gospel Shape Your Joy (18b)
