What do you do when the story is almost over? In the final message of our 22-part series "An Invitation to Joy," Pastor Jacob and Erin Gaines wrap up the book of Philippians with Paul's last word: grace. Paul wrote the most joyful letter in the Bible while chained to a Roman guard, and he shows us how to choose joy no matter our circumstances. Drawing from Philippians 4 and Psalm 90:12, this message explores how to number your days, trade worry for prayer, fix your thoughts on what is true, break the "one day" lie, live on purpose, and be fully present right where you are. You can't change yesterday. You can't control tomorrow. But because of the grace of Jesus, you can choose joy today.
