STORY
Philippians 1:8-18 New Testament
Paul was an apostle in the first century A.D. who went on four missionary journeys to spread the gospel of Jesus. He traveled thousands of miles on foot and by boat and to do this. Throughout his converted life he underwent tremendous suffering from being shipwrecked, a prisoner, almost drowning, and I could go on and on. In today's scripture, he is held as a prisoner in Rome. In the reading, he is crying out to God and praying for his captors. Paul is writing to the people of Philippi that no matter what hardships and suffering you go through you need to still stay strong in your faith.
LESSON
Stay strong in your faith throughout your life. Live your life so that others see Jesus in you. 💕
