What does it look like to rejoice in the Lord always? Paul's exhortations in Philippians 4 help us see.

Philippians 4 calls us to lead a vigilant life (v1-3), a radical life (v4-9), the result of the work of God’s Spirit, and a contented life (v10-13).

This is the final of four Bible ministry messages given at Rising Lights (6-10 April, 2026).

About the speaker: Paul Mallard is FIEC's Director for the West Midlands and the chair of FIEC's Theology Team, helping churches and leaders to think through the key theological challenges facing us in 21st Century Britain. He previously served as pastor at Widcombe Baptist Church in Bath until 2022.
