Pursue Joy – 2

The Book of Philippians is on Paul’s secret of Christian joy. Throughout the four chapters, Paul mentions the words ‘joy’, ‘rejoicing’, or ‘gladness’, at least 19 times. He also made references the mind 16 times, using the words ‘mind’, ‘think’, or ‘remember’. Put together, the secret of Christian joy is found in the way the believer thinks, in his or her attitude. In the second of his two-part sermon, Elder Hock Chye highlighted 4 thieves that can rob us of joy, and how we can learn from Paul’s response to them.
