<p>SERMON NOTES — Sunday, May 24, 2020</p> <p> “CONTAGIOUS JOY: Finally…” Philippians 4 NIV</p> <p> “4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. 10 I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”</p> <p> When we learn to ____________________… the life, death, and resurrection of Christ….</p> <p> And we choose to ____________________… to the life, death, and resurrection of Christ….</p> <p> Then our lives begin to ________________… The life, death, and resurrection of Christ.</p> <p> NEXT STEPS: 1.
