The apostle Paul had a tough life as he sought to follow Jesus with all his heart. In today’s message, Pastor Ed points out that though Paul found hardship and misfortune as he spread the good news of Jesus, he never seemed to lose his joy. He never let the situation turn his attitude, and even continually remained hopeful despite outward appearances of hopelessness. Paul’s joyful confidence, as Pastor Ed describes it, is an attitude that we as Christians can adopt and convey to the world, no matter our circumstances.
