4. Finding Joy in Christ's Humility
July 19, 2015
In this sermon, we teach from the Christ hymn, Philippians 2:5-11. We learn from the example of Christ that those who go low will be exalted in God's kingdom. While most of the world strives to get ahead, promote themselves, and achieve self-glorification, we learn that the way of true joy is to follow the example of Christ, who made himself a servant and died on behalf of others.
3. Finding Joy in Suffering
July 12, 2015 • Pastor Josh Lo
Josh Lo talks about the role of suffering in the Christian life. In Philippians 1:27-30, the Apostle Paul teaches about leading a life worthy of the Gospel despite opposition and challenges. As we remain faithful through suffering and hardship, we witness to a broken world about God's goodness and faithfulness. Much like athletes who subject themselves to difficult training, Josh encourages us to live a life worthy of the gospel, and train ourselves to persevere through suffering for the sake of God's upward call on our lives.
