Capturing Joy: It Can Be Found in the Strangest of Places #1 - Joy Comes from the Strangest of Places

Joy slips away when people try to capture it for themselves. Writing from prison, Paul rejoices as he thanks God for the Philippians' partnership in spreading the good news of Jesus. His confidence rests not in their perfection, but in God, who will finish the good work He began in them. Knowledge of Jesus grows discerning love and righteous living, because these fruits come through Christ. Lasting joy points beyond itself to God, and Jesus brings sinners back to Him.
