THIRSTY 30 (Laitinen / Zarling)

Pastor Laitinen and Pastor Zarling study Paul’s prison letter to the Philippians.  The theme of this epistle seems to be: “Rejoice in the Lord always!” (Phil 3:1and 4:4). As Christians, we have good reason to rejoice. We can rejoice in any circumstances, confident of our Savior’s gospel promises. This is so important, it bears repeating. Philippians 4:4 says, “Rejoice in the Lord always! I will say it again: Rejoice!” Listen to learn more.  

Next week we begin studying Jesus Christ’s Revelation to St. John.
