Missions 26 | Living to Magnify Christ - Season 5, Episode 91

What does it take to rob a believer of joy in sharing the gospel, and why did Paul's imprisonment fail to do it? Working through Paul's letter to the Philippians, the message shows how he found joy in advancing the gospel despite difficult circumstances, difficult people, and mixed motives around him, because his focus stayed fixed on magnifying Christ rather than himself. The central thesis is that the platforms, chains, and hardships in a believer's life become opportunities for the gospel when Christ, not comfort or self-promotion, becomes the aim. Listeners are challenged to identify their own God-given platform and ask what it would look like for their life to make Christ, rather than themselves, the most important thing.Eastland is a Place to BelongEastland Baptist Church is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
