Reading Philippians

This letter is another Prison Epistle, and is an extremely personal, heartfelt book from Paul. Paul had a deep relationship with this church, being with the key founders and helping them build their church within this city. This was also the city where he and Silas were released from jail by an earthquake, and converted the jailer through their behaviour in the incident.

This letter contains some amazing encouragement terms, as well as some great truths of the gospel. Paul encourages these old friends to continue rejoicing, and to continue being thankful. He encourages them to live more Christ-like lives, and to continue persevering being a light in this city. This book is an amazing read for the church, and provides a great insight into Paul's life, and the early church's development.
