Philippians 4:4-9 | Ordinary Days… Extraordinary Grace

Philippians 4:4-9

John 1:12-13

‘Rejoicing always’ is possible because of the one the rejoicing is in.

“Christian joy is a good feeling in the soul, produced by the Holy Spirit, as he causes us to see the beauty of Christ in the word and in the world.” – John Piper

Luke 10:18-20

American Christians are not at general risk of falling away from the living God because of persecution (yet), but because of complacency that leads to compromise.

The problem with anxiety is not what it produces but what it takes: The Peace of God.

Matthew 6:25-34; Psalm 145:17-21

The “ordinary days” require intentionally seeking the peace of God, which guards our hearts and minds and leads to faithful obedience.
