Introduction to Philippians

The book of Philippians is a tiny little book in the New Testament, just four chapters, yet packed full of good gospel and Christian living. D. A. Carson called Philippians "Basics For Believers" and so it is. What is life about? What does the Christ-life look like? Who is Jesus anyway? What can I expect from making Christ my life? What does the pursuit of Christ look like? Will God take care of me? All of these questions are addressed in Philippians.

I have taught through the book of Philippians for several years now, both as pastor of a church and in my capacity as a hospice chaplain in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. I am currently teaching through it in our Wednesday night Bible studies at the Winnsboro Reformed Church. This audio link will take you to a page on Soundcloud where you can listen to the introductory lesson in this series. It was/is a very informal setting and following the introduction to the book there was a group discussion that centered on evangelism and what that looks like in a Reformed context. The study itself consisted mostly of an overview of Acts 16.

Here is the audio from that session: Intro to Philippians

I hope you will follow the example set by Paul and Silas and the others as they sought to glorify Christ in the world they lived in. God is always at work. Proclaim the good news. Go and make disciples.
