Upside Living in a Downside Economy
Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:11-13
In February , the jobless rate in America climbed to 8.1%, the highest rate in 25 years. By the following month, it had crept to 9% nationally. In a recent survey, 1 in 4 Americans shared that they are worried about being laid off. For many months now, news of the economic downturn has dominated the national and global news, and for many months, the news seems to keep getting worse.
We find ourselves in a season of stress and worry about what tomorrow may bring, and many of us are wondering, “Is there any good news coming?”
During this series of messages, we will look at some of the qualities and practices of the “Upside Life” that have defined the Christian faith in seasons of “plenty” and seasons of “need.” Looking at the teachings of Jesus and the life of Paul, we’ll dive into the good news that Christ brings to any and all who respond to the invitation to live their lives in a new and different way.
I hope you will join us as we seek to discover how to live the “Upside Life” in a downside economy.
