PHILIPPIANS: JESUS OUR JOY
With a world filled with sorrow, we need hope and joy. Philippians is a great book to read daily to discover that Jesus is our hope and joy.
"Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice" Philippians 4:4.
As we study Philippians we will discover Paul's secret as he sat in prison: That a life lived for Jesus will overflow with joy. What a great message for our hurting world.
