Joy in Chains

From a prison cell, Paul writes one of the most joy-filled passages in Scripture, reminding us that joy is not found in control or comfort, but in Christ’s presence and purposes—even in suffering. Drawing from Philippians 1:12–30, we explore how hardship, when interpreted through the gospel, can produce courage, deepen meaning, and strengthen the church. Chains don’t get the final word—Jesus does, and that is the source of defiant joy.
