Dr. Thomas West | Philippians 1:12-30
Everyone in the room walked in already finishing one sentence: for me, to live is ___. This message works through Philippians 1:12-30, where Paul answers that question from a prison cell — living is Christ, and dying is gain. Three times the world comes to take his joy: his freedom, his life, and his church. Three times it leaves empty-handed, because his joy was never resting on any of those things. It's a look at what holds steady when the very thing you counted on is taken away.
