Oasis Church Birmingham: Talks

Paul writes his letter to the Philippians from the depths of a Roman jail, awaiting sentencing for preaching the good news about Jesus that might end in his execution. Despite that though, Philippians is a book full of joy, comfort, warmth, and connection. The key, as Paul reveals, and as Oasis will be exploring through this series, is that Jesus is enough, full stop. This week, Mike asks the question of what we are each rejoicing in. The Apostle Paul's status, in his culture, was untouchable - he was everything anyone could want to be, and he did everything he was supposed to have done. And yet, none of that was worth anything to him any more. Jesus had changed everything, and this new way of living, utterly tansformed, is one that we are each invited to enjoy and embrace.
