Shining Like Stars | Philippians E5 | Philippians 2:12-18

To Live is Christ | Philippians E2 | Philippians 1:12-26
The Apostle Paul said "for to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." Amidst suffering and difficulty, Paul was able to refocus his gaze on the Gospel and it transformed the way he lived. Can we be a people who say, with Paul, "to live is Christ and to die is gain?"
