Encouraging the Saints—Philippians—Josiah Kagin

It all began when the Apostle Paul met with a group of ladies by the riverside in Philippi. (Acts 16:11)  The message of Jesus Christ was received by that small group and the Gospel began to spread across the city through their witness as the partnered Paul. Lives began to be radically changed which brought about persecution especially for Paul and Silas. Paul was forced to have to goodbye to the new church and leave the city. However, the believers at Philippi continued to love Paul and the work of the Gospel so much that the sent offerings to support Him so that he could focus on preaching the Word. This especially helped Paul to be able to plant the church in Corinth. Now almost ten years later, Paul wrote to thank them for their support and encourage them to remain focused on Christ. Knowing Jesus Himself would help them face the challenges to unity with one another and have joy in their daily lives. As we begin this study, may our hearts be encouraged know Christ more fully. Thanks for joining us for this episode and please take a moment to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
