I Choose Joy

Chip begins this series by asking a fundamental question: How can we develop a perspective that allows us to transcend our circumstances and live life with joy? In this first message, from Philippians, Chapter 1, Chip tells us it begins with focus. He teaches us how to develop an upward and an outward focus.

Life isn’t fair. Bad things happen and suffering is very real. We know this. Here’s the question: what do you do when the unfairness or the suffering are pressing in on YOU? Chip explains how, through understanding the power of purpose, God can use even our worst circumstances to bless and mature us into becoming more and more like Jesus.

Someone has rightly said, adversity either makes us or breaks us. What makes the difference? The answer is a simple four letter word. In this message, Chip tells us what that word is and how it can help us rise above the most difficult circumstances in our lives.

Expectations can make or break a situation. Met expectations are great! Unmet expectations can be upsetting and cause anger, or even despair. Join Chip as he reveals how, by understanding the power of expectations, we can not only survive tough times but actually experience daily joy!
