Sermon
Unshakeable Joy: Found & Formed
The Fields Church
Speaker: Ben Baber
February 16, 2026 · 35 min
Summary
Paul opens Philippians by revealing that unshakable joy is found in Christ and formed in community. Using four P's—position, people, promise, and prayer—he shows the Philippians (and us) that joy transcends circumstances, grounded in identity in Christ, strengthened through gospel partnership, secured by God's faithfulness, and sustained through intercession.
Highlights
Real joy is found in Christ, but then it's formed in community.
You are not what you do. You are not what you do, but you are who you belong to.
When the gospel is at the root of your friendship and your partnership, grace replaces pride. Love replaces fear and joy replaces division.
