Lasting Friendship

Paul opens up his letter by expressing his deep love for the church in Philippi. It is obvious that God has used this church for his own encouragement and growth. The beginning of Paul’s relationship with them goes all the way back to Acts 16 where we meet the likes of Lydia, a demon possessed girl, and a roman jailor. These three uniquely different individuals make up the beginning of the church in Philippi. And what is clear is that the only thing that they have in common is the gospel of Jesus Christ. He is what unites them despite their social and economic differences. It is no different with us. We are all partakers of a gospel that does not divide us, but that unites us! It is a lasting friendship that is built on nothing, but Jesus Himself. Visit us online at: http://www.RenewalChurch.net
