The letter to the Philippians is deeply personal. It’s not driven by correction or rebuke, but by joy, affection and encouragement. Paul is writing from a Roman prison. Life is not easy. He’s in chains. But his heart is full. Why? Because of a church family in Philippi who hasn’t forgotten him. They’ve stayed faithful. They’ve partnered in the gospel. And it gives him joy. Philippians tells us a lot about the mission of God and how God’s people participate in that mission. This is a community that didn’t just believe the gospel - they shared in it. They supported it, sacrificed for it and lived it.
