Philippians - Deep Diving in the Joy of the Lord (1.10.2021)

Throughout his writing, the Apostle Paul encourages his readers to focus on Christ, to proclaim Christ and Him crucified, to follow the example of Christ, and to boast—not in oneself—but in Christ alone. In our study of the first part of Philippians 3 today, Paul continues that powerful exhortation as he reminds us that nothing…nothing…is worth comparing to what we are and have in Jesus! Join Pastor Fraker and be blessed and strengthened by God’s Word!
