Think About These Things (Philippians 4:1-9)

Pressing Toward the Prize (Philippians 3:12-21)

Examples of the Gospel Lived Out (Philippians 2:19-30)
Paul has offered some of his most moving language to describe the incarnation of Christ and his own willingness to sacrifice his life.

Not Something to Grasp (Philippians 2:1-13)
"It seems to be a fact that you have to suffer as much from the Church as for it but if you believe in the divinity of Christ, you have to cherish the world at the same time that you struggle to endure it.” — Flannery O'ConnorPaul knows how difficult Christian community can be. Our tendency to reach for our own benefit constantly poisons the possibility of true friendship and love. But Paul offers another way.Paul offered the Philippians the example of Christ, who didn't count his Godhood something to take advantage of but humbled himself to take on the most humbling of human experiences. This is what Paul calls the Philippians to work out, their salvation offered through Christ's self-emptying.

Beginning (Acts 28)
We have finally reached the end of Acts, but it's not what you might have expected. Luke seems to stop the story without an ending. It is a freeze-frame, Paul proclaiming the Gospel in Rome with boldness and without hindrance. As a reader, we are left to decide how this story should end. We are pulled into it. Participants in the kingdom's work.

Light (Acts 25-26)
Paul makes his final defense before Festus and King Agrippa II. Luke draws together the developing themes of Paul's three speeches into a dramatic and poignant final moment. For Paul, his message is clear. Jesus suffered and was raised from death as the first of a great resurrection to come. This message is the light which had transformed Paul's life and was now being declared to Jews and Gentiles. but that message was not received by Agrippa or Festus. One saw it as madness the other wasn't so quickly convinced.
