It’s found in contentment.  If you’ve ever met a truly content person you know how refreshing it is. They have a joy and a peace that others don’t possess. Their circumstances don’t determine their joy. This is how Christians are supposed to live. Our hope and trust is in God not what we have or don’t have or what’s happening around us.

    Today's Reading:Acts 15:1-35https://www.bible.com/bible/116/ACT.15.NLTPhilippians 3:1-14https://www.bible.com/bible/116/PHP.3.NLTToday’s reading is a reminder that joy comes the more we place our confidence in Jesus and the cross. The more faith I put in myself the less joy I feel. If I believe God’s love depends on my behavior I will either feel shame or arrogance, but never joy. Joy comes the more I think about how much I need Jesus.Links in this episode:Share this link with a friendhttps://dailyfaith.life/philippians

    Today's Reading:Philippians 1: https://www.bible.com/bible/116/PHP.1.NLTPhilippians 2:1-11 https://www.bible.com/bible/116/PHP.2.NLTIn today’s reading, we learn that there’s more joy in serving others than in getting what you want. It's a counter-cultural message: Joy is not found in selfishness. From the time we’re kids we believe if we could ever have everything we want or have life go the way we want we would truly be happy, but Paul says the opposite.Links In This Episode:Share this link with a friendhttps://dailyfaith.life/philippians

But what does it mean? Are we supposed to feel that way? Is death a good thing? Am I supposed to want to die? Links in this episode:Share this link with a friendhttps://dailyfaith.life/philippians

Sometimes it’s easy to feel like if you have trouble you can’t have joy, but in these verses, Paul makes it clear: joy cannot be taken, it has to be given away.Links in this episode:Share this link with a friendhttps://dailyfaith.life/philippians

    Today's Reading:Philippians 2https://www.bible.com/bible/116/PHP.2.NLTPhilippians 1:12-14https://www.bible.com/bible/116/PHP.1.NLTIn today's reading, we’re only covering 3 verses, but they may be the most important verses in the entire book of Philippians. Because we get our first look at the difference between joy and happiness. You will never feel happy when you face trials and troubles in life, but it is possible to feel joy even when what’s happening doesn’t feel good.

    Day 02 - Friendship

    Today's Reading:Philippians 1: https://www.bible.com/bible/116/PHP.1.NLTIn today’s reading, we get our first clue at how Paul is able to have joy in such terrible circumstances: gratitude for his friends. When life is challenging, the natural tendency is to focus on your circumstances. Most of your time and energy is spent feeling sorry for yourself, or dreading what might come next. The problem, though, is the more you think about yourself the more you tend to feel sorry for yourself? What if instead, you prayed for your friends?Links In This Episode:Share this link with a friendhttps://dailyfaith.life/philippians

    Day 01 - An Introduction to Philippians

    Todays Reading:Acts 16:11-40https://www.bible.com/bible/116/ACT.16.NLTPhilippians 1:1-3https://www.bible.com/bible/116/PHP.1.NLTToday I'm going to give you an introduction to Philippians and explain the history and some important facts. As always, context matters. We will read about Paul’s first trip to Philippi 10 years earlier in Acts 16, and meet some of the people that he is writing to in his letter. Remember, Paul didn’t think he was writing the Bible at the time, he was simply writing a letter to his friends.Links In This Podcast:Introduction to Philippians (PDF)https://dailyfaith.life/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Day-01-Introduction-to-Philippians.pdfShare this link to invite a friend: https://dailyfaith.life/philippians
