Joy in and for Christ (Philippians)

This fourth and final sermon on Joy surveys Paul's letter of joy in Christ to the Philippians to give practical keys to knowing joy building on the foundation of joy of Christ and His work and worth.

The keys to joy learned from the previous sermons (knowing Christ, a mind settled on God in Christ, fellowship with Christ and His people, a life of obedience to Christ, plus prayer, thanksgiving, witnessing) are all found in Philippians, especially the first and fourth chapters. The middle chapters of Philippians give the foundation of that joy in Christ.
