We often view suffering as an aberration of the normal course of life, but this perspective was far from the early church. Throughout the New Testament, we see both the expectation of suffering as well as the expectation of joy within that suffering as God sustains his people with hope and his presence.

Scripture: Philippians 2:14-18
One of the greatest challenges we face as Christians is the threat of questioning God’s goodness when circumstances turn bad. Therefore one of our greatest needs is to have faith that God is in control over every aspect of our lives and will turn even the most aggravating setback we experience into an opportunity for the advancement of the Gospel and the praise of His glory.

Scripture: Philippians 1:12-21
In a world that pursues happiness through all kinds of self-gratification, the Christian witness proclaims (and even commands) joy in our sacrifices. As we look to Jesus, we find the only means to fulfilling this part of our Christian witness.

Scripture: Philippians 3:1-11
The resurrection of Jesus Christ forces us to move beyond our own small perspective of all he wants to accomplish for the sake of the world and see with the eyes of faith the grander purposes of God.

Scripture: John 20:1-18
Everyone wants Jesus when they think he has come to do something for them, but who is willing to submit to him as Lord? You and I must make the same decision as the people of his day. Who will it be? Jesus, the messiah, the King of all kings and Lord of all lords, or a king and kingdom of our own expectation and design?
