When The Kingdom Meets The Cross | Justin Rife

This week, Justin Rife continued our Joy Full series through Philippians, exploring redemptive suffering—finding joy even in the midst of hardship. Paul, writing from prison, declares that his suffering has actually advanced the gospel, challenging us to see trials through a kingdom perspective. Scripture reveals three key principles for walking in joy: engaging in kingdom community, choosing to rejoice, and not letting shame tell our story. True victory isn’t about avoiding pain but about encountering Christ in the middle of it. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead empowers us to endure, filling us with His joy and strength.
