As we continue our study of joy, today we consider the exhausting pursuit of the credentials that people look to for confidence before God and others.

Philippians 1:12-18 // [outline]
Gratitude changes people’s lives, but how can we get it?

Our gratitude grows as we move from spectator to participant in the purposes of God.
