The apostle Paul had a vision in Troas of a man from Macedonia calling him to preach the gospel. Thus began Paul's ministry in the Roman colony of Philippi. The themes of Philippians are joy and partnership as he expresses his thanks and appreciation to the people of Philippi who stood by him as partners with their prayers and financial support.
This verse-by-verse teaching through the book of Philippians from the personal study notes of Bob Yandian will give you great insight into the church at Philippi and the topic of God's joy, which is the strength of our Christian life.
