Silver Lining – Philippians 1:12-18

Our culture is saturated with pessimism. Surveys show that most people are more likely to expect the worst than hope for the best, especially when it comes to issues like morality, education, and equality. But optimism is contagious, and as followers of Jesus, we have a unique opportunity to be carriers of hope. We can be the silver lining in our communities, not by ignoring pain or pretending everything is fine, but by choosing to see God’s hand at work even in suffering.
