In our culture, we tend to compare ourselves to others which only leads to envy or condemnation. This causes us to respond by shielding and covering up our weaknesses / calamities / trials / sicknesses / deformities so we look stronger & better to others around us. Don’t think God’s power isn’t evident just because there isn’t a miraculous experience. Maybe you’ve become distracted in seeking after the miraculous saving instead of the miraculous savior. Maybe you’ve began to desire someone else’s experience instead of the life God has led you in. Maybe you’ve began to think you’re doing something wrong because you’re not experiencing paradise just pain & weakness. Don’t think God’s power isn’t evident just because there isn’t a miraculous experience.

Finding Joy

November 3, 2024 • Justan McCaslin

The book of Philippians is a personal, practical & powerful book that emphasizes joy in the christian life. How many of us today can sit here in this church & confidently say no matter what we’re going thru, we’re rejoicing or joyful?! It’s true that we have much to be thankful for but the pace at which we run is so fast, the pressure of which we face is so great, and the pain which we experience is so deep our joy is often stolen. Therefore, we’re led to search for joy or happiness that will last! Usually from possessions, vacations, social connections, etc. But Philippians teaches us true joy only comes through centering our lives around christ, harmony with his faithful followers, and serving others in the name of the lord. We’ll learn how to “rejoice in the lord” despite circumstances / people / problems / suffering!
