Main Points

The Divine Equation: C+P=E (Circumstance + Perspective = Experience)

KEY #1: Focus - Where is my focus? -Philippians 1:1-11

How to develop an upward focus -Philippians 1:3-6

• A choice = Gratitude
• An action = Prayer
• An Attitude - Confidence

Three observations about an outward focus -Philippians 1:7-8

1. Difficult circumstances reveal our true affections.
2. Living above our circumstances occurs when our hearts are so full of people, that there is no room for self pity.
3. Sometimes God allows adverse circumstances to realign our affections!

How to develop an outward focus -Philippians 1:9-11
