Summary
Life is not fair. Here’s the question: What do you do when life's not fair to YOU? To answer that question, join Chip as he opens the book of Philippians for some very helpful insight.
Main PointsKEY #2: Purpose - What's my purpose? -Philippians 1:12-18
Three purpose statements for every believer:
