Summary

Joy is not the goal of the Christian life—Christ is the goal! When the Lord Jesus Christ has His rightful place in our lives He gives us His joy. Followers of Christ should be the most joyful people in the world. The book of Philippians teaches us the joy of walking with Christ each day. This message is the first of six Bible messages from the book of Philippians given by Scott Pauley. Join Scott Pauley's study through Scripture this year.

0:44.7	where the Lord says,
