Christian LivingWalk in a manner worthy of your calling

The Christian life sure is difficult sometimes, isn't it? God asks us to leave behind our selfishness and devote ourselves to Jesus Christ in the service of others. This journey has a clear beginning and an even clearer end, but its path is littered with dangerous obstructions and precarious curves. Thankfully, its destination provides lasting, eternal rewards.

Chances are you have experienced the difficulty of losing your way on the journey. We've all been tempted to stray, to step away from the fundamentals of authentic Christian living toward the more immediate fulfillments we desire for ourselves. But God calls us to a life devoted to studying the Scriptures, to prayer, and most important, to knowing Christ Himself.

Let these articles, audio sermons, and resources remind you that the goal isn't just reaching our heavenly destination but walking closely with Jesus as we get there.

Laugh Again: Experience Outrageous Joy (Philippians)

Purchased MP3 series can be downloaded as a single .zip file that includes all the MP3 messages from the series or separately as individual MP3 files.

The Book of Philippians

Just look around and you see that more and more people are anxious about today and tomorrow, discontent with themselves and their circumstances—always striving for the ever-elusive “more.” That’s why sadly, too often, life isn’t a smile; it’s a frown.

In Chuck Swindoll’s classic study of Paul’s letter to the Philippians, however, we discover that Jesus Christ came to fill our lives with joy—an authentic, abiding joy that produces genuine laughter deep within the soul.

Would you like to experience outrageous joy—the kind that tingles the soul? Join Chuck Swindoll and realize anew that it’s time to Laugh Again
