Episode 1

Stand Firm in the Lord | Philippians 4:1

Most people skip the first verse of Philippians 4. They want the famous chapter — Rejoice in the Lord always. Be anxious for nothing. Peace which surpasses understanding. But before any of that, Paul writes one sentence, and it starts with a word most of us read past.

Therefore.

The joy you have been told to manufacture in verse four is not built on verse four. It is built on verse one — and verse one is the part of the chapter almost nobody quotes.

Anchored in Philippians 4:1. The opener of a verse-by-verse season through the most-quoted chapter in Philippians.

Formation to Transformation is a worship devotional for the whole worship team — leaders, musicians, vocalists, audio engineers, lighting directors, ProPresenter operators, camera, FILO.
