Philippians - This is Living: Rejoice in the Lord!

As we close our 11-week journey through Philippians, Paul ends his letter like an encore: repeating, underlining, and elevating the major themes we’ve walked through all series long. From prison, he urges the church to pursue unity, to rejoice in the Lord, to cast their anxieties onto God, and to dwell on what is true, pure, and lovely. He reminds them that Christ is near. Nearer than any circumstance pressing in on them. And he celebrates their partnership in the gospel with deep affection.This final chapter calls us to the same: to stand firm, to refuse the pull of anxiety, to fix our minds on Christ, and to walk in a peace that “surpasses all understanding.” In every season, in plenty or in need, we can say with Paul, “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.”
