How many of you are saved, know Jesus? Raise your hand. Saved backsliders? Caught some of you, didn't I? Well, I want you to know that Jason over here was telling me that last Sunday the sermon wasn't a laughing matter.

And that's what the book of Philippians is about; that's the theme of Philippians - JOY. And we'll come back to that this morning because Paul can't get away from it. Years ago I preached on th ...
