The Joy of Jesus – Triumphant Suffering – Of An External Nature – Geared Through Glorification
20050717 Triumphant Suffering - Of An External Nature - Geared Through Glorification - Rev. Tommy Jones
Currently, we are suffering through threats of #CoronaVirus, #Locust outbreaks, and extreme meteorological and geological events. A few of us may be experiencing #Christian #persecution, with which Paul was very familiar. He wrote in Philippians that he was prepared to go to his reward or to stay with the Christians. In either instance, he wanted God to get the glory. For what did Paul ask his fellow believers? How much did Paul wish to magnify Christ? When Christ increases in your life, who or what decreases? Have you ever seen a legally blind person use a magnifying glass to read what was clear and obvious to others? How did Paul’s walk with Jesus color his view of life and death? What do you live for, what makes you come alive?

PSA – Don’t forget #Valentine’sDay is coming up to avoid unnecessary external suffering. But seriously, why is there so much #suffering in this world? If suffering is the result of a fallen world, why do Christians suffer? How does Christian suffering help to spread the Gospel? What’s wrong with the phrase, ‘under the circumstances’? Did Paul’s jailing help or hinder the spread of the Gospel? Where would we be without some of his jailhouse epistles? How did he view his jailers, as oppressors or opportunities? Is courage contagious just like fear? What did Paul say about preachers of his day that taught about Jesus plus something else? Do we have people around us today like that? How can we rejoice about suffering?

The Joy of Jesus – Triumphant Suffering – Of An Internal Nature – Prayerfully
20050703 Triumphant Suffering - Of An Internal Nature - Prayerfully - Rev. Tommy Jones
How should we #pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ #Jesus? Paul tells us how he joyfully went before the #throne when he prayed for the church at Philippi. But is this prayer only appropriate for this particular situation or can we apply it to our surroundings? Are there different kinds of love? What is agape love? What is the connection between this type of love and knowledge? Where does discernment come into play? How does sincere love withstand the light of day? How can we be filled with the fruits of righteousness? From where does this fruit come and what is the result of our bearing this fruit?
