A Study of the Book of Philippians
The Church at Philippi was started by Paul at the beginning of his second missionary journey.
And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us. And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.Acts 16:9-10
Philippians was written from prison.
Philippians is a letter of joy in Jesus.
Joy signifies a feeling of happiness that is based on spiritual realities.
Joy is not dependent on circumstances, but dependent on the work of the Holy Spirit.
Joy is found in knowing who I am in Jesus.
Joy is multiplied with others.
Saints: the holy, set apart ones
We never find a single instance in the Bible where saints are revered or prayed to.
Two biblical offices of church governance.
Pastors: episokopos, presbuteros, poimen guardian, overseer, supervisor, shepherd
Deacons: a personal servant
Seek joy.
Joy > Happiness Joy is found in Jesus. Joy comes from the Holy Spirit. Joy is a choice.
