Philippians

In one of his most affectionate letters to a local church, Paul writes to the Philippians of the incomparable joy of knowing Jesus. He encourages followers of Jesus to grow confident in God’s sovereignty, to be joyful, humble, unified, and to continually strive to know Jesus Christ more deeply. All this in spite of rather pessimistic circumstances. In this extensive study of Philippians we contemplate “the surpassing worth of knowing Christ” (3:8) and find a deeper, more enduring joy.
