Summary

The Philippian Christians had learned the secret of joyful, liberal financial giving. The church in Philippi had taken up an offering to give to Paul, in prison because of his faith. Paul wrote back to the church and expressed his joy (see verse 10). Joy, or its derivative, occurs almost 20 times in this letter. Have you discovered the joy of giving? In what ways can giving make you a joyful person? Gary Hardin “Our consumer-oriented society pressures us to place too much value on material things, to the point that our joy is based on how much we have. This approach to life results in chronic dissatisfaction. We never seem to have enough.” Unknown

Sahne Rolle Rückwärts - Für eine offene, diverse und wertschätzende Gesellschaft Theaterwerkstatt Bethel Wir sind Antonia, Christin und Ferdinand von be able und Matthias, Mitja und Nici von der Theaterwerkstatt Bethel. Seit 2021 stehen wir in einem regen kollegialen Austausch. Nun machen wir uns auf die Suche nach anderen Initiativen, Aktivist:innen und Selbstvertreter:innen, die genauso unermüdlich für ein zukunftsorientiertes, wertschätzendes Zusammenleben eintreten. Mit ihnen sprechen wir über Musik als Lebensmittel, ehrliche, aufrichtige Beziehungen, Selbst- und Fürsorge, Wandelmut, radikale Empathie, soziale Nachhaltigkeit und über Zusammenhalt. Bethel Baptist Chapel Billinghay James Mansfield SermonAudio has given our fellowship another dimension in that although we are only a small church on the Lincolnshire Fens we now know that we have active fellowship with brethren and sisters across the world. Feedback is a great means of fellowship and encouragement. I calculate that at present people listening too our sermons mean that in effect we have an additional 40 people in our congregation.
