DIVE: On Patience and Steadfastness

When our faith is tested it produces a deeper virtue than patience in us. This is where we see our steadfastness come to light.

Our depth in the knowledge of God's word and His promises is the anchor that keeps our souls in the midst of those refining seasons. 

We are reminded in this short exhortation that our joy should remain steadfast and sure. Just like Caleb and Joshua, our report should remain that God is indeed faithful to save us even in the midst of dire circumstances.

The nature of God's love towards us is lavish, bountiful, excessive & constantly willing to pour into us until we exist in an overflow. In this episode on Joy & Generosity we continue our study of the book of Philippians, shedding more light on what generosity should look like for us believers; how to recognize it, receive it and also how to be generous to those around us. 

The cares of this world may try to weigh us down, but we continue to draw strength from God. We've been charged to "be strong" and in this episode on Joy & Strength, we learn that joy is not solely God consoling us through hard seasons, but Him imparting us with His joy which empowers us to do His will.

Jesse Dan- Yusuf continues The Art of Joy series with Episode 6 from Philippians 4: 10- 20.

Our joy is one thing the enemy tries to steal, kill and destroy the most, but in the midst of it all, God's grace is always sufficient for us.

The Holy Spirit has been teaching us amazing things through our Art of Joy series. We've been studying the book of Philippians and it's been a beautiful journey of learning, pruning and growing.

Is humility a show of weakness or a show of strength? Listen to Jesse Dan-Yusuf share from Philippians 2:1-11 as he continues The Art of Joy series.

Jesse Dan-Yusuf shares from Philippians 1:21 on what we can learn from St. Paul's epistle to the Church in Philippi. 

We learn what it means to live for Christ and how we should view death as Christians.

We begin our journey into the study of St. Paul's epistle to the Philippians. Joy seems to be the central theme of the letter as he mentions it several times. Joy is a gift we get from God. Our joy is hinged on the confidence we have in Him. It is the assurance we have that we are and will be alright as long as we are rooted and grounded in Him. Joy is not circumstantial, situational or flickery. It is rooted in the integrity of God. How then do we fully receive this gift and apply it to everyday of our lives? 

Listen to Jesse Dan-Yusuf teach on the art of joy.
