Main Points

The Divine Equation:

• C+P=E (Circumstance + Perspective = Experience)

KEY #1: Focus

• Where is my focus? -Philippians 1:1-11

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

• Think about those who have loved you the most.
• Pray for those you think about the most.
