Theme: Joy
Intro: Rejoicing in Christ!  Here is some practical advice.

·         Joy comes through right praying, Philippians 4:6-7. Be anxious for nothing, see Mark 4:18-19. Fits of anxiety can keep you from growing up in Christ, see Matthew 6:19-25.

·         Joy comes through right thinking, Philippians 4:8. Paul focuses on the truth and we are to do likewise protecting our mind.

·         Joy comes through right living, Philippians 4:9. Obedience brings peace. We are to do what is right.

Personal Application:

·         Do you pray right? Just pray or praying with thanksgiving, Philippians 3:1? Are you discontent, are you dissatisfied (see Exodus 16:8)?

·         Do you think right?

·         Will you get right?
