Philippians 1:19-30 Our perspective was encouraged and refreshed as we thought about the glory and hope of heaven! Paul was in the midst of challenging trials, but cared more for the spiritual growth and joy in faith of his fellow laborers than he did of his own comfort. We were encouraged to stand fast in one spirit through prayer, and one mind through unity as we showcase the gospel. We have a brave faith where death is gain and suffering is a gift.
