Suffering With Joy

Your Life Matters to Christ

One way we overcome suffering is to suffer with joy. The believers in Philippi were growing in faith and live for Christ while dealing with conflict and threats of persecution. Paul was stuck in a Roman prison when he wrote to this his thank you letter. This church supported Paul’s Ministry with a financial gift and material resources. They made great sacrifices and now they’re beginning to doubt God’s continued provision. Paul reminds the believers to suffer with “joy.” Paul gives us a few “Holy” suggestions on how to “Suffer with Joy.”
