Hope this inspires you, hope it builds your faith, hope it gives you perspective to see God is moving in your life. Enjoy the message. [audience applauds] Now Philippians 1:12-26. Paul speaking says, "Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel. As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am," get ready for a strange phrase, "in chains for Christ. And because of my chains, most of the brothers and sisters have become confident in the Lord and dare all the more to proclaim the gospel without fear. It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry," Paul said, "Not everybody likes me."
