Most of us hold the idea that the future will always get better...that somehow we will figure this out. But the question is, can we? Is this even true? We'll look at two ancient stories that tell us more about ourselves than most of us want to admit, and realize why the struggle apart from God is more futile than we think. Are people inherently good, or a mixed bag? Is there a limit to human progress? And if we're so enlightened, why do we keep almost destroying ourselves again and again?

Philippians Part Four: Joy for Life

Play Episode Listen Later Oct 14, 2019


We find ourselves this week in the final chapter of the Apostle Paul's “discourse on joy” to his congregation at Philippi. He understood that “anxiousness” is the result of the pull in our lives between hope and fear. It was Paul's desire to equip his spiritual children with the truth that could make it possible for them to live in a place of peace and great joy for the rest of their lives, no matter what circumstances would come their way. He knew that their lives and ours, would be filled with opportunities to live in anxiety, but that they, and we, must make the “joy decision” every day in order to experience “joy for life.”

The book of Philippians was penned by a man who was, at the moment of its writing, suffering untold troubles and trials. Paul was confined in a Roman dungeon, beaten regularly, and chained to one of his guards, awaiting death for the unthinkable crime of receiving the good news of salvation through Christ, and the desire that all might know his amazing savior. As he awaited his execution, he not only found purpose and meaning for the circumstances he was experiencing, he demonstrated incredible faithfulness, and did so with an attitude of unshakable joy!
