Joy Even in Chains

Speaker: Pastor Aaron Perry

We began a new teaching series called "Joy-Full" in which we are walking through the New Testament book of Philippians in which Paul writes to a church to encourage them to be joyful (he uses the words joy or rejoice 16 times) regardless of their circumstances as he is in a Roman prison. The Bible points us to this reality that joy comes from our hope and our hope comes from Jesus. Below you will find some of the key take away from the message in which we unpacked chapter one.

-Obstacles should not rob you of joy nor should it redirect your obedience.
-Your faithfulness can encourage the faithfulness of others, especially in challenging times.
-You will never feel full of joy until you have decided to be full of faith.
-Jesus was a man of sorrows so we could be people of joy.

I hope you choose joy by choosing Jesus. And remember any journey with Jesus will provide you with joy, no matter the circumstances. Trust Him.
