Where
are you going for true joy? Paul radiates a contagious joy here. Though
he writes from a Roman prison, he can say, “I rejoice, so you rejoice”
(paraphrasing 2:17–18). Paul reminds us that ultimate joy isn’t derived
from comfortable circumstances, but from a living, vibrant communion
with Christ. Paul
says, “For me, living is Christ and dying is gain” (1:21). Paul loves
the church at Philippi and refers to it as his “joy and crown” (4:1),
but disunity exists in the body (4:2). He provides wonderful instruction
for us as we seek to unite in the gospel.[1]

Tomorrow evening we'll have our AppPsalms (Applying Psalms Book I),
our series of Mid-Week Bible Studies in which we'll keep interacting
with what we're learning through the preaching in our Sunday services.
We'll meet at Caffé Filopanti, in Budrio, where we'll engage with Psalms 39 to 41.
The following churches will gather together: New Life, Strong Tower, and Anchor of Hope from Bologna; Alive in Him from San Lazzaro di Savena; The Square from Budrio; and Nuova Speranza from Casalecchio di Reno.
Gioele Corradini, will preach from Psalm 78:1-7, exposing the theme set by the Italian Evangelical Alliance: "God’s Faithfulness to His People: Stop to start again!'
The Evangelical Alliance Week of Prayer is an old but golden tradition. Going back to the year after the launch of the Evangelical Alliance in 1846, it was one of the agreed initiatives that came out of that founding conference and has since been celebrated every year across Europe.
Tomorrow we'll have our morning service to worship God together and to proclaim His Word in Budrio.
We are glad for the Lord's provision of the meeting room at the social center Magnolia, a well known cultural meeting point right at the centre of Budrio.
During the service we'll have our children's clubs where kids will engage with the same Bible passage.
"...I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:12-14
We'll
have a children's talk where kids will engage with a Talk on the same
Bible passage, and a programme dedicated to different age groups.
Indeed the Psalms speak of hope and fear, of love and hate, of discouragement and thanksgiving, but above all, the Psalms speak to us of Christ (Luke 24:44) and lead us to Christ: the Servant-King, the Messiah-Redeemer! The Psalms are not poems to thrill us in private, but are the powerful praise that the united people of the church, with missional passion sing to their Lord. Each Psalm therefore asks us for an answer: will you remain in the audience of the fools who say that 'there is no God', or will you join the chorus of those justified by Jesus?

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16
What a beautiful way to translate the true meaning of Christmas into practice, with the gift that God made of his Son, who became man to give himself on the cross, giving us peace with God and the new life of His resurrection!
