Rev. Steven Theiss, vacancy pastor at Immanuel Lutheran Church in New Wells, MO, joins host Rev. Brady Finnern to study Philippians 4:2-23.

“Rejoice in the LORD always; again I will say rejoice.”  Paul speaks these words after establishing “Whose we are.”  We are the blood bought ones “whose names are written in the book of life (v.5).”  This last chapter of Philippians pulls the whole book together of why he rejoices, is content, and is not anxious, even in prison. The LORD is with us (v.5), we can come to the LORD in prayer (v.6),  we have good things from God on which to focus (v.8-9), and He has provided people around us to encourage and unite us in Christ (Euodia, Syntyche, the true companion, Clement, Epaphroditus, & Caesar).  “Lord God, help us to rejoice in the good things from You.  Help us to be content and provide people to encourage us and that we may encourage others.  No matter the circumstance we know that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.  Amen”
