Series: Philippians
Author: Josh Malone
Text: Philippians 1:1-11
This week we begin a new series in Philippians. The plan is to take 8 weeks to go through this book together, concluding on December 20. Philippians is a short book that packs a powerful punch. This is a book that has as one of its major themes... Joy. Joy and its variants in the Greek are used in Philippians 14 times. It's also a book that mentions Jesus and titles for Jesus A LOT. It also talks about the Christian mind more than other books. This is a book that is an encouragement to all believers to live joyful Christ-centered lives grounded in thinking that has been transformed by the gospel. This is a book full of joy that encourages us to live gospel-centered lives of joy.
