Series: The Joy of RE - A Study in Philippians
Joey Rodgers
Philippians 1:12-26

In spite of opposition - the gospel must progress
Paul was the man who wanted to go to Rome to testify of his faith before Nero. Instead, he found himself a prisoner in Rome. We know from Acts, Paul was illegally arrested in Jerusalem, misrepresented at Caesarea, then shipped off to Rome where he was chained to a Roman guard and virtually forgotten for 2 yrs. If ever there was a person victimized for their beliefs - it was Paul. Yet it's while he was unjustly mistreated and imprisoned in Rome that he wrote this letter of joy to ...
