Unshakable
In the book of Philippians, the Apostle Paul writes an impassioned letter to some close friends offering them the secret to thriving in any and every circumstance.

In a world marked by uncertainty, suffering, and conflict, this series invites us to embrace a joy that cannot be shaken.
The Gateway Arch in St. Louis, MO is designed to sway up to 18 inches in either direction. The Willis Tower, formerly the Sears Tower in Chicago, can sway 3 feet in either direction. And astonishingly, if you’re at the top of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the tallest building in the world, you could find yourself swaying up 6.6 feet!
Why? Because the architects and engineers who designed them know that high winds and earthquakes will sway and shake these colossal structures. So, they designed them to be able to endure the unexpected.
This week we begin a new series called Unshakeable where we’re working verse-by-verse through the New Testament letter of Philippians. In it, the Apostle Paul teaches us how to live unshakable lives in King Jesus, lives that can endure whatever life throws at us with joy and peace, and to do so by God’s grace at work in our lives.
