Philippians

By Tim Temple

This book presents a verse by verse study of the Apostle Paul's letter to the church at Philippi. Paul wrote this letter during a particularly difficult time in his life. He was in the custody of the Roman Empire, awaiting trial on a charge of capital offense. During this difficult time Paul continued his ministry, using his circumstance to reach out to those around him-including the elite Praetorian Guard. His imprisonment even enabled him to reach into Caesar's own household, presenting them with the good news of salvation. It is in this time of hardship and service that Paul writes to his friends in Philippi. These are friends the Apostle had made years earlier when his first missionary journey brought him to the city of Philippi. Now, he sends his thanks to them for their continued support, and encourages them in the face of the distressing news they had undoubtedly heard about the Apostle's imprisonment. There is much we can learn from this letter. Paul provides an example of how to live with adversity and shows us what God can achieve in conditions we might believe are hopeless and without purpose.

There are sixteen studies in this book that cover every verse in the letter to the Philippians. These studies provide a guide suitable for use in group or personal Bible study.
