God's Word For Today: Philippians

Each study in the God's Word for Today series provides an in-depth exploration of a book of the Bible. Each session includes:

• background information on the book of the Bible, its author, audience, occasion, and purpose;
• learning experiences that promote exciting and challenging discussions;
• notes for leaders that answer questions, suggest a learning process, and provide additional information;
• discussion starters that help participants apply God's Word to their daily lives.

(6 sessions) In this epistle, Paul characterizes the Christian life in this way: joy no matter what the circumstances; an eagerness to suffer for Christ; humility that follows Christ in putting others first; trust in Christ alone for righteousness.
