6. Philippians 1:24-25 Joy of Faith-Part 2

Pastor Phil Ballmaier

Calvary Chapel Elk Grove

5-7-23


Pastor Phil normally approaches the study of The Bible verse-by-verse, but The Lord has laid it on his heart to study The Book of Philippians topically.  


Today Pastor Phil shares how we must take up the shield of faith to withstand the wiles of the devil. The truest enemy of our souls.

But our faith must be built upon the knowledge that:

1. God is Sovereign, 

2. That God loves us, and 

3. That God is infinitely wise.


Paul tells us to put on the whole armor of God in the Book of Ephesians, of which the shield of faith is critical to our defense. But taking up the shield of faith isn't a one-time thing. We must do it daily, and sometimes even moment-by-moment, especially in times of trial. 


The Book of Philippians was written by the Apostle Paul while he was imprisoned in Rome, likely around 61 or 62 AD. It is one of the four 'prison epistles' that Paul penned while in captivity. He counted it a joy to allow God to work everything for his good—even imprisonment. This epistle teaches us the secret of having joy in a less than perfect world.


Calvary Chapel Elk Grove is a non-denominational fellowship located in Roselle, a northwest suburb of Chicago in Illinois.
