 In this episode of the Village Church’s series on Philippians, Pastor Mark turns his gaze toward the opening verses of chapter three. He explores the call to rejoice, urging it not simply as an emotion but as a defense—a safeguard, standing firm against those who would reduce grace to mere rule-following. These verses are more than an appeal; they’re a resistance against any who would burden the Gentiles with the weight of old customs. Pastor Mark challenges us to recognize joy as not only a gift but a shield, one that defends the heart from subtle pressures to distort the Gospel’s freedom.
