Share one of your most recent joys in life…something that happened in your day or week that brought JOY to you in some small or big way. Really living!

PHILIPPIANS 1:19-26

When is life really good?

1.) Enduring joy comes from seeing the life-changing power of the Gospel advanced…everywhere.

Philippians 1: 15It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.  16The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel.  17The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. 18But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.

What am I doing consistently to share the Gospel of Christ with others?

Philippians 1: 15It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.  16The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel.  17The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. 18But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.

21For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. Philippians 1:18b-21 Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, 19for I know that through your prayers and God’s provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance. 20I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.  21For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

#2. Enduring joy comes by experiencing the “saving” work of Christ in every experience of life… good or bad.

What are you being saved from today? Philippians 2:12-13 “…continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.” What are you being saved from today?

Philippians 1 20 I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. 

Philippians 1:21 “For to me, to live is Christ  and to die is gain.”

Philippians 1:22-24 “If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 23I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; 24but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. 

What is LIFE really all about for me?

Hebrews 12:2 “…fix our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before  him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Philippians 1:21-26 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 22If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 23I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; 24but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. 25Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, 26so that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me.

#3. Joy comes from being of benefit to others in the kingdom work of Christ.

Prime Minister of Great Britain W.E. Gladstone Prime Minister of Great Britain from 1868-1894

in every experience of life becomes my reason for living When knowing Jesus in every experience of life becomes my reason for living then nothing in life will be able to separate me from JOY.
