Rev. Richard Atkinson: April 2020

Before his live-streamed service from the manse tomorrow, Richard gives us his final thoughts on the passages from Philippians he and Circuit colleagues have ben reflecting on this week. The final passage is Philippians 4:10-13:

10 I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
