PHILIPPIANS. Although in prison for proclaiming Jesus Christ, the Apostle Paul writes a joyful letter of encouragement and challenge to his “partners in the gospel,” the Christians at Philippi. Paul aims to inspire his readers to persevere in the work of Christ, and he tells them how to find peace and contentment in a perilous world. We, too, can discover the secret of Paul’s joy and experience his triumphant confidence in Christ. LifeChange Series: Christians have a lifelong goal: to become like Christ.
