Philippians 4:4-7 | Imagination and Gratitude

Note: For now, our services are being conducted over a Zoom call. We have adjusted our teaching format to be more interactive. If you don’t have anywhere to be next Sunday, we’d love to have you!

Summary

Hebrews 11:1 says that faith is confidence in the unseen. That means that faith depends on a robust imagination, which sees God at work and hears his voice and feels his presence in our life. Dave unpacks the importance of imagination, especially in crisis, and then calls us to exercise imagination with gratitude.

Text

“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:4–7 ESV)
