3 I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, 4 always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. Philippians 1:3-5
Paul’s joy wasn’t tied to his prison cell. It was tied to partnership in the gospel. Gratitude for God’s work in others. Confidence in God’s ongoing work. Prayer for growth in love.
We are beginning a new series: Joy in the Journey. Joy doesn’t come from comfort or circumstances. Joy comes from knowing Christ and walking together – partners – in His mission.
