Pastor Chuck Swindoll makes a bold statement based on Philippians: a life without joy isn’t God’s will! The good news is that believers don’t have to drum up feelings. Instead, we live by the Holy Spirit who works within us.
If you need warm encouragement, a cheery boost of joy, a happy and hopeful word to lift your spirit, you’ve come to the right place. Philippians has this all and more! Free from complicated and knotty problems, these 104 verses offer authentic reasons to be thankful, joyful, and contented.
Joy prompts healing—both physically and emotionally. In this poignant letter of friendship and faith, the Apostle Paul advocated for a lasting joy to undergird the life of all believers.
Centuries ago, God directed Paul to write a letter of exuberant joy—a letter that transcends time and culture.
Does someone in your life bring a smile to your face every time you think of him or her? Then you'll identify with Paul's opening to the Philippian Christians.
Circumstances are ever changing, like the comings and goings of the tide. But a Christ-centred life is rock solid—it's the only way to live.
The Philippians faced a dilemma, a dilemma that challenged them, as it will us, to pick either the rock or the hard place.
Pastor Chuck Swindoll shares from Philippians 1:1–18 and 23–27 that even the apostle Paul experienced disillusionment with those in the church. Consider what Paul concluded, and let your perspective be renewed as you listen.
Father, broaden my vision of the greatness of Christ. Draw me nearer to Him so that I can see nothing else but His glory, His beauty, His grace. Help me to consider every event in my life as an opportunity to give Him praise.
Father, thank You for a model like Paul. He wasn’t perfect, but he had an enduring determination and he persevered through adversity. He pressed on, in season and out of season. Give me the tenacity to do the same.
