Why You're Still Here Final Words - Stephen Armstrong | Philippians lesson 1

Have you ever wondered why you're facing challenges in your life? Why, despite everything you do, you still feel lost? The answer can be found in Philippians 1:3-5. In this passage, Paul tells us that our purpose is to live for Christ.

Our lives are not meant to be lived for ourselves. We are here to share the Gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ, with the world. This doesn't mean everyone needs to become a pastor or missionary. Everyone can participate in the Gospel by living their life in a way that honors God.

The Philippian church is a great example of this. From the very beginning of their faith, they made the Gospel a part of their everyday lives. They didn't wait to be pastors or missionaries. They found ways to share their faith in their workplaces, homes, and communities.

So how can we make the Gospel a part of our everyday lives? Here are a few ideas:

- Look for opportunities to share your faith with others. This could be through conversations with friends and family, or by volunteering in your community.
- Live your life in a way that honors God. This means being honest, kind, and compassionate.
- Let your light shine! Be a positive example of what it means to follow Christ.
When we make the Gospel our lifestyle, we are fulfilling the purpose for which we were created. We are also bringing joy to God, just as the Philippian church brought joy to Paul.
