#407 - Joby Martin // Rejoicing Anyway

We work through Philippians 1:15–18 and face a hard reality: some people proclaim Christ with good motives, and some do it with envy and selfish ambition. We choose Paul’s path of joy by focusing on gospel outcomes, refusing to police motives, and trusting God’s sovereignty over people we do not like. 
• Paul’s contrast between goodwill and selfish ambition in preaching Christ 
• Rejoicing when Christ is proclaimed even when motives are mixed 
• Asking whether we default to negative judgment or look for the good 
• Resisting the urge to assume motives without the full story 
• Letting go of comparison and coveting as enemies of joy 
• Trusting God with judgment and praying for people with bad intentions
