Paul teaches us that the strength and joy to live life is found in Christ. True contentment is only found in Christ.

This message challenges followers to live out their faith through forgiveness, reflecting Christ’s character amid adversity.

Selena Gomez: “Everything I have ever wished for I’ve had and done all of it. But it killed me because there is always Selena. I feel trapped in my own mind.” Paul teaches us that we can have joy in our lives by dealing with conflict, defeating anxiety, and destroying negativity.

We are going to answer those two basic questions:

1. What must I do now to be saved?

2. What must I do next after I am saved?

In Philippians 3:12–21, Paul uses the analogy of running to describe the Christian journey in life. He’s going to teach us how to find joy in the journey and to finish strong, if we’ll learn to press on, watch out, and look up.

Lasting joy does not come from your resume, but from a right relationship with God through Jesus.

In these verses, we see three important relationships we need to have and what a faithful friend looks like. A faithful friend intentionally invests, genuinely cares, and sacrificially serves.

In Philippians 2:12-18, Paul teaches us how to shine bright in a dark world by working out, shutting up, and pouring out.
