About this episode

Pastor Curtis discusses the paradox of true freedom in the book of Philippians, emphasizing the perspective of living for Christ and the meaning of death.

The book of Philippians is full of paradoxes, one of the most profound being how Paul experiences true freedom even while in chains. His confidence, after all, was never in the possibility of God changing his circumstances, but in God sustaining him no matter what. In this week’s message from Philippians 1, Pastor Curtis reveals three more aspects of “the good life,” a life that makes sense only when our perspective is the same as Paul’s: To live is Christ, and to die is gain.
