From Despair to Acceptance

Teacher: Dr. Mark Foster

Series: Joy!

Passage: Philippians 1:3-5, 12-14, 21

Service Type: Acts 2

Acceptance is not defeat or resignation. Rather, acceptance is seeing the sober truth of your situation, offering it to God, and working together with God and others for the transformation of your world and the world as a whole.
