When I was 14 years old I began learning to play the guitar.  I took lessons that taught me theory, notes and chord formations, but I really learned to play the guitar  outside of my lessons.  Every Wednesday night I’d head over to the home of one of my youth leaders, and for 30 minutes we’d just play the guitar together.  Each week, Calvin showed me through his example how to put into practice all of the things my music teacher taught me. While I took a lot of lessons, it was Calvin who actually taught me to play the guitar because he modeled it for me.  

Over the last month, we have been searching for joy and discussing ways that we can experience more joy in our lives.  One of the key ideas we have repeated throughout our teaching series is that joy flows from a Christ-centered life.  When I hear a statement like that, the question “Yeah, but what does it look like?” always comes to mind. If joy flows from a Christ-centered life, then what does a Christ-centered life look like? Give me an example, a model to follow!

This week as we continue our search for Joy in the book of Philippians we are going to look at three examples that the author gives of people who exemplify everything we have talked about so far.  I hope you’ll join us this Sunday as we look at Philippians 2:19-30 and explore the examples of Paul, Timothy and Epaphroditus and find out what the Christ-centered life looked like for them.

See you Sunday,

Pastor Kirk
