In week two of Citizens & Saints, our series walking through the book of Philippians, Pastor Justin Valiquette teaches from Philippians 1:12-18. Paul dreamed of taking the gospel to Spain, but he ended up chained in a Roman prison while others preached out of envy and rivalry. Even so, his joy was unshaken. Justin explores two enemies of joy, shortsighted ambition and selfish ambition, and shows that Paul’s secret was a godward ambition: as long as Christ is proclaimed, he rejoices. When Jesus is our greatest treasure, every circumstance becomes an opportunity to make Him known.
