Meant for Joy

Series: (expired) Preaching Through Philippians

January 26, 2020
Dr. Dwight Perry

Sometimes our hardships are meant for joy. However, we can easily lose our sense of joy when looking at our circumstances from a selfish perspective. When things don't seem to go our way, we ask, "Why me Lord?" At times, the answer is: "It is meant for your good and ultimate joy.” Consider the arrest of the Apostle Paul and his subsequent transport to Rome. Paul's desired to proclaim the gospel in Rome. Then, God provided an all-expense paid trip to Rome courtesy of the Roman government. As a result, Paul received audiences with King Herod, Felix (the Governor of Judea), Festus (an emissary of Caesar), and Caesar himself. God provides for those who He calls to proclaim the gospel. In other words, what men meant for harm to Paul became good and joyous because Christ was being glorified. [visit bit.ly/aboutLCC for more information about Lucerne Community Church]
