SERMON TITLE: Rejoicing in Shackles SPEAKER: John HuhSYNOPSIS: Finding joy and rejoicing in God is not easy, especially when we are in the middle of a life's storm. In today's passage, Paul teaches us how to thrive in midst of turmoil when he states, "to live is Christ, die is to gain." SCRIPTURE: Philippians 1:18b-26 Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, 19 for I know that through your prayers and God’s provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.[a] 20 I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. 21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; 24 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. 25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, 26 so that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me.
