Encounters with God: Philippians

Intended as companions to the Blackaby Study Bible, these guides also stand alone as a complete study of a book of the Bible.

Encounters with God: Philippians centers around a church that was dear to Paul's hear and a message that is filled with immense joy.  Paul sought to encourage the Philippian believers by sharing the great work that God was doing in his life.  We learn that joy and contentment should not be based on circumstances, but rather on our relationship with Christ.  Paul's message also highlights the importance of prayer, praise, and thanksgiving.
