Surprised By Joy: XII

We love dogs, yet we warn others about our dog. "Beware of Dog" is a common warning sign. In the days of Paul, dogs were not domesticated. They ran wild and were feared. Paul warns the Philippian church to look out for the 'dogs' that will steal their joy and he encourages them to "rejoice in the Lord." Pastor Andrew comes to Philippians 3:1-3 and warns us about four different dogs, or joy robbers that are common in our lives. As we kill these various 'dogs' in our life, we find when Jesus gets our worship, we get His joy.
