The Joy of Jesus – Triumphant Suffering – Of An Internal Nature – Mentally

It seems there is a lot of #mental suffering in this world.  So many are experiencing #depression, #selfpity, and #selfishness.  And they all have something in common, an inward gaze.  How does Paul Thank God for his fellow Christians at Philippi?  Paul is writing this letter from prison and yet it is full of praise and prayer.  Wouldn’t you expect a prisoner to ask for relief or prayer for themselves?  What was one of Brother Tommy’s pet peeves?  Paul was thankful for their fellowship in the Gospel.   What does that tell us about what we are to be doing?  He also said he was expecting something from them.  What was it?  Does God start anything that He cannot finish?

The Person Who Pities

Last week, we learned why we should always give #thanks.  This week, we will learn what happens when we ignore this advice and start down a path of #self #pity.  We tend to think of biblical heroes as perfect, infallible, or at the very least happy and enthused.  But, are they?  Elijah was a great man, a prophet, one whom God loved and still he found himself dejected under a juniper tree.  What toll does it take to serve the Lord and bring truth to people?  Is a Christian life going to be easy and bring popularity?  What happens when we lose focus on the important things?  Does God speak to us in the chaos of current events?  Who do you trust and who do you fear?  Is it possible that there could be more going on than we can see right now?
