In this sermon, Spiritual Formation Pastor Ashleigh Givens preaches from Philippians 1:19-26, exploring the transformation of Paul the Apostle—from a persecutor of Christians to one persecuted for the sake of the gospel. She challenges us to consider what it means to adopt Paul’s motto: “For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” Ashleigh also invites us to see suffering as an opportunity for a deeper encounter with Christ and to reflect on what it means to rehearse dying in our own lives.
