It was from prison that Paul wrote, “Rejoice in the Lord always.” Addressing a church troubled by division and false teaching, the Apostle called anxious Christians to share in his vibrant joy. What was Paul’s secret? How did he maintain such peace of mind when the threat of execution loomed?\n

The book of Philippians presents the key to having joy that even our darkest trials cannot steal away: knowing Christ.\n

In this series of three courses, Dr. Steven Lawson takes a thorough look at Paul’s letter of joy. Set out on this verse-by-verse journey to discover how the joy of the Lord enables Christians to live faithfully for the gospel in every circumstance.\n
