If you’re bummed out, struggling, things not going well, and you don’t know where to go, join Chip as he begins this series and shares how a divine equation can change your world.

Main Points

The Divine Equation:

  • C+P=E (Circumstance + Perspective = Experience)

KEY #1: Focus

  • Where is my focus? -Philippians 1:1-11

How to develop an upward focus -Philippians 1:3-6

  • A choice = Gratitude
  • An action = Prayer
  • An Attitude = Confidence

Three observations about an outward focus -Philippians 1:7-8

  1. Difficult circumstances reveal our true affections.
  2. Living above our circumstances occurs when our hearts are so full of people that there is no room for self-pity.
  3. Sometimes God allows adverse circumstances to realign our affections!

How to develop an outward focus -Philippians 1:9-11

  • Think about those who have loved you the most.
  • Pray for those you think about the most.

Conclusion: Where's your focus?

  • Upward or Inward?
  • Outward or Inward?
