Do you have a gospel perspective or a gospel outlook on life? This week, Paul teaches us what it looks like to have gospel lenses even when living through difficult seasons. --- From a prison cell Paul writes a letter to the church in Philippi. Join us for a walkthrough of his letter and learn how we can be content in all circumstances. --- 12 Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me has actually advanced the gospel, 13 so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard, and to everyone else, that my imprisonment is because I am in Christ. 14 Most of the brothers have gained confidence in the Lord from my imprisonment and dare even more to speak the word fearlessly. 15 To be sure, some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of good will. 16 These preach out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel; 17 the others proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, thinking that they will cause me trouble in my imprisonment. 18 What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is proclaimed, and in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice 19 because I know this will lead to my salvation through your prayers and help from the Spirit of Jesus Christ. 20 My eager expectation and hope is that I will not be ashamed about anything, but that now as always, with all courage, Christ will be highly honored in my body, whether by life or by death. {Philippians 1:12-20} 1: SEE GOSPEL OPPORTUNITIES EVEN IN TRYING TIMES 2: REJECT ENVY AND CELEBRATE OTHERS 3: SEE YOUR LIFE FOR GOD’S GLORY --- Swerve Church is a new church in the neighborhood of Bushwick in Brooklyn NYC. --- Important links: Follow Jesus: swervechurch.com/congrats Next Steps: swervechurch.com/nextsteps Connection Card: swervechurch.com/cc Give: swervechurch.com/give --- #swervechurch​​ #bushwick​​ #sermonseries​
