Not a sermon…just a thought
We may not be able to understand the reason for our chains, but we can always choose the response!
This past Sunday I kicked off a new series at EPIC called PRISON BREAK, which is a four week study through the book of Philippians. The first message was CHANGE IN CHAINS from Philippians chapter 1.
In chapter 1 the Apostle Paul describes the cause for his chains.
- Chained by Circumstances (vs. 12-14)
- Chained by Critics (vs. 15-18)
- Chained by Christ (vs. 29-30)
Like Paul we all have to battle through chains that are a result from circumstances, critics, and sometimes even Christ.
The reason may be difficult to determine, but the response is always a choice.
As Christians we can choose to do the following when we feel chained by circumstances, critics, or Christ.
- Choose to Celebrate (vs. 18-21)
- Choose to Contend (vs. 27-28)
- Choose to Continue (vs. 25)
We may not be able to understand the reason for our chains, but we can always choose the response.
Not a sermon…just a thought!
