Being a Citizen of Heaven in a World Going to Hell

from Southcliff · host Dr. Carroll Marr

Description: Are you living "under the circumstances," or are you living out your true calling? In this opening study of Paul’s letter to the Philippians, we dive deep into the rich history and DNA of the early church in Philippi—from the conversion of Lydia and the deliverance of a slave girl to a midnight prison earthquake. Writing from his own prison cell, the Apostle Paul delivers a radical challenge: view every hardship through a gospel perspective. Discover how embracing your true identity as a citizen of heaven unlocks a supernatural power to navigate difficult circumstances, difficult people, and toxic worry. By defining your ultimate purpose (to exalt Christ) and your ultimate philosophy ("to live is Christ, to die is gain"), you can step out from under the weight of this world and experience a deep-seated, unshakable joy.??
