BRIDGE FELLOWSHIP CHURCH RALEIGH
WE’RE ABOUT GLORIFYING GOD BY BRIDGING PEOPLE TO HIM THROUGH THE GOSPEL AND GROWING HEALTHY DISCIPLES.
What do you do when following Christ costs you? How do you stand firm when faith leads you into the fire? Can suffering actually advance the Gospel?
Paul’s words in Philippians 1:12-20 challenge us to shift our perspective. Instead of seeing hardship as a setback, we must recognize it as a God-ordained opportunity to glorify Christ. In this message, we unpack five powerful keys to standing firm in adversity:
- Shift your perspective – See trials as God’s tool for His Kingdom (v12)
- Use your struggle as a testimony – Your faith in the fire speaks louder than words (v12-13)
- Take hold of hope and inspiration – Let God’s faithfulness strengthen you (v14)
- Remember the message is superior to the messenger – Stay focused on the Gospel (v15-19)
- Prioritize your spiritual legacy over your trials – Live for Christ’s glory, not just survival (v20)
This message is for you if…
- You’re facing opposition because of your faith.
- You’re struggling with discouragement or doubt.
- You want to develop unshakable boldness for Christ.
