How can Paul have joy while in Roman custody? | Philippians

When Paul writes Philippians, he's in custody in Rome. He hasn't been able to travel and preach for nearly 4 years. Yet Philippians is known as the epistle of joy. Why is that?  It has to do with what mattered most to Paul... with where he found his life and joy.  He models this for us in both the letter to the Philippians and in Acts 16 when he started the church in Philippi.    Overview of Philippians article: https://renew.org/summary-of-philippians/   Free 30 Page eBook to help you Hear and Heed the Bible:  https://www.johnwhittaker.net   Support this ministry: Set up a recurring monthly or a one-time donation at the link below. http://worldfamilymissions.org/john-whittaker/   Episode webpage: https://podcast.johnwhittaker.net/e/how-can-paul-have-joy-while-in-roman-custody-philippians/   The Listener’s Commentary - In-depth teaching through books of the Bible to help you learn the Bible for yourself:  https://www.listenerscommentary.com   Connect with John: Social Media- connect on facebook and instagram Email - [email protected] If you've been helped by this teaching leave a review and share freely - on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, via email.
