We're starting a new Bible Study on the book of Philippians! This is one of the books of the Bible Paul wrote from prison. Despite the dangers he was facing, Paul had a remarkable positive outlook! His letter teaches us to find joy in Christ no matter our circumstances.

On our first session, we explore the historical background that helps us understand the issues facing the church in Philippi, and then dive into Philippians 1:1-11.

Philippians 4:10-23

December 15, 2021 • Philippians 4:10–23

The end of Philippians is a powerful reminder to be content in what God has already given us, instead of living with chronic disappointment about the things we want, but don't have. Because God has already given us the most important gift of all, we can be content in every situation.

Philippians 3:15-4:9

December 8, 2021 • Philippians 3:15–21, Philippians 4:1–9

In today's passage, Paul encourages us to follow Godly examples, to make sure we're working towards unity in the church, and to go to God in prayer when we start to feel anxious. One of the most encouraging promises he gives us is that through Christ, we can receive the peace of God from the God of peace!

Philippians 2:19-3:14

December 1, 2021

In this passage, Paul highlights two fellow Christians who are doing an especially good job of serving Christ and putting others first: Timothy and Epaphroditus. After that, Paul challenges us to stop putting so much confidence in our temporary, worldly accomplishments when we know we have something of much greater value: a relationship with Jesus Christ!
