We're getting into the text of Philippians tonight with this thought: you can't just force yourself to be joyful (#nike). Joy is an attitude, not a feeling; but even attitudes need to be cultivated and grown. That's how Paul thinks of joy; as an attitude that naturally arises from considering the gospel. Specifically, consider 2 joys of the gospel: gospel partnership and gospel assurance (in Christ).

Too often, both believers and non-believers assume that Christian's live guilt-ridden, non-exciting, pleasure-denying lives...that's why I'm excited to start getting into the book of Philippians with you all! Because Paul explains the truth that, even in difficult circumstances and situations, the gospel of Christ guarantees a life of joy: because it guarantees life in Jesus himself!

When it comes to spiritual Warfare, we need to know our enemy. If we are going to stand against the Devil and His schemes, then we need to be aware of what He is like, and prepared for His plans against us

Akani Hlungwane and his wife were part of our church in Pretoria for many years and now are being sent out to plant a church in a village in Limpopo, South Africa. I think you will appreciate hearing his testimony and how God has called him from being an engineer to becoming a church planter. You’ll learn a little more about South Africa and the challenges of serving Jesus there and be encouraged and motivated by how local churches can play a part in raising up and sending out leaders to impact the world for Jesus.
