One of the things I have always found fascinating about the writings of Paul in the New Testament is how often he uses words like always, anything, everything, all things. It’s like he never wants us to think of a way out. Bring all things to God, rejoice in the Lord always. 

The same happens in one of the most famous verses in Philippians: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (4:13).

We wrapped up a series on the book of Philippians yesterday at our church. You can catch it here if you want.

• In Christ, through Christ, you can fight loneliness and enter into community, no matter how hard and scary it might be. 
• In Christ, through Christ, your suffering, pain, hardship, and dark moments are not wasted, and you never walk them alone. And in Christ, through Christ, you can get through them. 
• In Christ, through Christ, you can grow into the person God has called and created you to be. 
• In Christ, through Christ, your life can and will count; no matter how big or small the things you do, or if anyone ever remembers your name, your life will matter. 
• In Christ, through Christ, you have a father who always does what is good, right, and perfect and who chases to the ends of the earth for you. 
• In Christ, through Christ, you can reach the goals and passions that God has placed in your life. 
• In Christ, through Christ, you can be satisfied with your life. 
• In Christ, through Christ, you can let go of control and experience the peace of God. 
• In Christ, through Christ, you can be content. 
• In Christ, through Christ, you can be generous with your whole life: your time, treasure, and talents.
• In Christ, through Christ, God will supply all your needs.
