Shining Like Stars

Today, we’re continuing our series Letters Between Friends. We are taking a few weeks to look at a book found in the NT, by a guy named Paul. Paul isn’t writing a theological textbook—he’s writing to people he loves. He’s already encouraged them to live in a way that is worthy of the gospel, as expressed in:
- Living in community, not in isolation
- Being courageous, not fearful
- Staying faithful, even in suffering
and now he’s calling them to keep going—to live out their faith with joy, unity, and light in a dark world.
