Biblical joy is experienced when we focus on the needs and growth of
others and not ourselves.

Get below the surface of life
Take off your mask and allow people to see who you really are
![Page 20: I Give Thanks to My God Philippians](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a80d831a28abc4118b486d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Confessing your sins to each other
Forgiving others
![Page 21: I Give Thanks to My God Philippians](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a80d831a28abc4118b486d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Are you one who lives in light of your freedom in Christ and willingly admits your sin?
![Page 22: I Give Thanks to My God Philippians](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a80d831a28abc4118b486d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Are you one who thinks being a Saint means not sinning, no
problems and no issues or at least you don’t tell others about these
things?
![Page 23: I Give Thanks to My God Philippians](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a80d831a28abc4118b486d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Hebrews 10:24-25 - Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. 25And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. NLT
![Page 24: I Give Thanks to My God Philippians](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a80d831a28abc4118b486d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
We are to Confess our Sins to each other, Forgive each other and
Pray for each other
![Page 25: I Give Thanks to My God Philippians](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a80d831a28abc4118b486d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Hebrews 3:12-13 – Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. 13But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. ESV
![Page 26: I Give Thanks to My God Philippians](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a80d831a28abc4118b486d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
James 5:16 - Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. NLT
![Page 27: I Give Thanks to My God Philippians](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a80d831a28abc4118b486d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
We are to recognize that we are members of God’s army and we
have the same enemy--
The Devil and his demons
![Page 28: I Give Thanks to My God Philippians](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a80d831a28abc4118b486d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
You look beyond income, gender and race and look to the heart
![Page 29: I Give Thanks to My God Philippians](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a80d831a28abc4118b486d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
James 2:1-7 - My dear brothers and sisters, how can you claim to have faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ if you favor some people over others? 2For example, suppose someone comes into your meeting dressed in fancy clothes and expensive jewelry, and another comes in who is poor and dressed in dirty clothes.
![Page 30: I Give Thanks to My God Philippians](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a80d831a28abc4118b486d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
3If you give special attention and a good seat to the rich person, but you say to the poor one, “You can stand over there, or else sit on the floor”—well, 4doesn’t this discrimination show that your judgments are guided by evil motives?
![Page 31: I Give Thanks to My God Philippians](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a80d831a28abc4118b486d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
5Listen to me, dear brothers and sisters. Hasn’t God chosen the poor in this world to be rich in faith? Aren’t they the ones who will inherit the Kingdom he promised to those who love him?
![Page 32: I Give Thanks to My God Philippians](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a80d831a28abc4118b486d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
6But you dishonor the poor! Isn’t it the rich who oppress you and drag you into court? 7Aren’t they the ones who slander Jesus Christ, whose noble name you bear? NLT
![Page 33: I Give Thanks to My God Philippians](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a80d831a28abc4118b486d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Growth in Humility
![Page 34: I Give Thanks to My God Philippians](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a80d831a28abc4118b486d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
James 4:13-16 - Look here, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town and will stay there a year. We will do business there and make a profit.” 14How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone.
![Page 35: I Give Thanks to My God Philippians](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a80d831a28abc4118b486d/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
15What you ought to say is, “If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that.” 16Otherwise you are boasting about your own plans, and all such boasting is evil. NLT
![Page 36: I Give Thanks to My God Philippians](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a80d831a28abc4118b486d/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
We suffer together and for each other.
![Page 37: I Give Thanks to My God Philippians](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a80d831a28abc4118b486d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
James 5:7-11 - Dear brothers and sisters, be patient as you wait for the Lord’s return. Consider the farmers who patiently wait for the rains in the fall and in the spring. They eagerly look for the valuable harvest to ripen. 8You, too, must be patient. Take courage, for the coming of the Lord is near.
![Page 38: I Give Thanks to My God Philippians](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a80d831a28abc4118b486d/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
9Don’t grumble about each other, brothers and sisters, or you will be judged. For look—the Judge is standing at the door! 10For examples of patience in suffering, dear brothers and sisters, look at the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
![Page 39: I Give Thanks to My God Philippians](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a80d831a28abc4118b486d/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
11We give great honor to those who endure under suffering. For instance, you know about Job, a man of great endurance. You can see how the Lord was kind to him at the end, for the Lord is full of tenderness and mercy. NLT
