In the sweltering heat of summer, nothing refreshes like a plunge into cool lake water. If we merely stand at the lakeshore and get our toes wet, we miss the lakeā€™s full refreshment. So it is with the gospel. We who are immersed in Christ positionally are meant to live in Christ practically. Weā€™re called to a full-throttled dive into a Christ-centered reality... a life of joy, and its companions: ā€¯Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.ā€¯ (Philippians 1:2 ā€“ NKJV) This Sunday, weā€™ll begin a study of Philippians ā€“ a hope-filled, joy-drenched letter to believers facing profound difficulties.
