"Yes And I Will Rejoice" - Philippians 1:1–18a

The apostle Paul experienced hardships for his preaching. He was imprisoned, kicked out of towns, and suffered harm. He was willing to talk about his struggles, but he never stopped there. It can be easy to see our struggles as the conclusion of a story. It can be more challenging to see them as a part of a bigger story. In Paul's letter to the Philippians, Paul reminds us to look for the bigger thread that weaves our stories together, and, in the midst of his suffering, he makes the decision to rejoice. The sermon was delivered by Rev. Marci A. Glass on Sunday, May 10, 2026.The scripture reading was from Philippians 1:1–18a.
