"Paul's Letter to the Philippians — A Thank You Note Never to be Forgotten -- Part 2"

We have now nearly reached the end of our overview of the precious letter to the Philippians.  Next time, Lord willing, we will finish our study here with a focus on what it means to “imitate” Paul.  Of the Twelve Dimensions of Blessing revealed by Paul in this letter, we have already covered seven of them.  Today our focus will be on four more, and then next time, Lord willing, the the last one, imitating Paul as our privilege under grace.  Today though we considered our unity in the Body by the spirit, our filling by God and the provisions for reigning in life, our privilege to suffer together with Christ, and finally, our hope of the prize of his high calling, or, as Paul called in in chapter 3 and verse 11, the “out-resurrection”.  Now that special blessing (not all will attain unto it) is reserved for those that run the race Paul ran.  Oh, may we run that race and gain unto that prize as the apostle was so hopeful he would.  Amen.
