Suffering, Joy and the Gospel

Series Title: The Gospel According to PhilippiansSeries Summary: Paul’s letter to the Philippians opens with deep gratitude for their partnership in the gospel—a relationship rooted in their shared union with Jesus. This gospel partnership expresses itself through love, generosity, and a mutual commitment to making Jesus known in word and deed.Passages: Philippians 1:12-18Speaker: Omar OrtizThis sermon explores how the gospel enables us to experience joy even in the midst of suffering. Drawing from Philippians 1:12–18, we see how Paul’s imprisonment and opposition became opportunities for the gospel to advance. His example encourages us to look for God’s hand at work, even in our hardest circumstances.⁠⁠⁠⁠Sermon Reflection Guide
