Philippians: Living a Happy and Holy Life

Hardly a day goes by without a newly frightening headline or pronouncement. Do we let our fears rob us of happiness and even love? Chained in a Roman prison and under attack by competitors, Paul is nevertheless joyful as he writes a very personal and devotional letter to his friends in Philippi. He urges the believers in Philippi to experience God’s joy for themselves, as they strive to live in a manner worthy of the Good News. We will seek to learn from this apostle how we can find the happiness that transcends our circumstances, even the anxieties and disappointments of tough times.
