Transition to Love and Promises

You’d think that someone sitting on the cold stone floor of a Roman jail cell would be the least likely to pen a letter overflowing with joy and gratitude—but that’s exactly what the Apostle Paul does with his letter to the church at Philippi. And in this week’s message from Philippians 1, Pastor J.D. explains how gratitude is one of the secrets to the “good life” that Paul illuminates for us. Gratitude, of course, doesn't always come naturally. It isn’t merely a feeling that comes and goes, but a practice that we can—and must—intentionally cultivate.
