Experience joy in any situation...

Follow Dr. Jeremiah through the letter of Philippians in a chapter-by-chapter study that will help you understand what it meant to the people at the time it was written and what it means to Christians today.

The believers in Philippi were experiencing both concern for Paul while he was in prison and spiritual discouragement. Paul wrote this loving letter to encourage them in their faith and to remind them that there was a greater future in store for him and for them outside this world. Paul even admits the tension he feels between living to continue sharing the gospel and dying so he can be with Christ. This mindset allowed Paul to remain joyful in the midst of suffering, and he knew the same would be true of the Philippi believers as well.

Each of this study's twelve lessons is clearly organised to include:

  • Getting Started: An opening question to introduce you to the lesson.
  • Setting the Stage: A short reflection to explain the context of the study.
  • Exploring the Text: The Scripture reading for the lesson with related study questions.
  • Reviewing the Story: Questions to help you identify key points in the reading.
  • Applying the Message: Questions to help you apply the key ideas to your life.
  • Reflecting on the Meaning: A closing reflection on the key teachings in the lesson.

—ABOUT THE SERIES—

The Jeremiah Bible Study Series captures Dr. David Jeremiah's forty-plus years of commitment in teaching the Word of God. In each study, you'll gain insights into the text, identify key stories and themes, and be challenged to apply the truths you uncover to your life. By the end of each study, you'll come away with a clear and memorable understanding of that Bible book.

Each study also contains a Leader's Guide.
