Advancing the Gospel

Philippians 1:12-18a

In spite of Paul's difficult circumstances under "house arrest" in Rome, his letter to the church in Philippi is marked by an unusually upbeat, joyful attitude. What was the source of Paul's joy in the midst of difficulty? --the gospel. He looked at everything that happened to him through the lens of the gospel, and the passion and purpose of his life was that the gospel of Christ might advance.
