"Slaves and Saints: The Genesis of Joy" | Philippians 1 Vs 1-2
In this sermon, we explore the deep-seated joy derived from our dual identity as 'Slaves and Saints,' as revealed by Paul to the Philippian church. Through a detailed examination of Philippians 1 Vs 1-2, we discover how being a 'Slave to Christ' isn’t about subjugation, but a choice rooted in profound love and gratitude, leading to a life filled with divine purpose, freedom, and joy. As 'Saints in Christ,' we are set apart, embarking on a daily journey of becoming more like Jesus, which holds the promise of enduring joy.
