These two messages are from a series on the book of Philippians and cover Philippians 1:21-2:18.
Paul wrote Philippians from a Roman jail, while awaiting trial. Though in what many would consider depressing circumstances, Paul sought to communicate His deep joy to the church at Philippi. He began by relaying his thanks at their partnership in his Gospel ministry and declaring the source of His joy amidst dark circumstances. Paul’s message goes to the heart of the Christian experience, the humiliation and suffering of the Lord Jesus Christ. All we are is bound up in what He has done. I pray we will hear, and be changed!
