Chapter 3 – Pressing on towards the goal (Press on)
Paul shares his own compelling story as a zealous Pharisee who clung to the law as the very foundation of his life and conduct. Yet when he encountered Christ all this changed. He now sees these thing as loss because righteousness comes through faith and not through adherence to the law. Paul presses on to the heavenly goal of knowing Christ more fully in recognising his own imperfections while urging the Philippians to follow his example and strive to grow in knowledge and understanding of Christ’s love.

Key lesson: The Christian life is a forward journey – letting go of the past and pressing on to know Christ more deeply.

Chapter 2 – Humility and the example of Christ (Shine humbly)
Paul addresses the need for unity and humility amongst the Philippians but also acknowledges the potential for division in any community. He urges them to turn aside from selfish ambition and rivalry and take on the selfless mindset of Christ.
Verses 5 – 11 are a moving and poetic description of the nature of Christ (please stop here and read those verses and stop again to reflect on the words). They describe Jesus, who though equal with God, emptied Himself and took on the form of a servant humbling Himself to the point of death on the cross. Paul calls the Philippians to shine as lights in the world and to work out their faith in fear and trembling, knowing it is God who works in them. (Verses 12 – 13).

Key lesson: True greatness is found in humility – Jesus though equal with God made Himself nothing to serve and save us.

During the month of June, we will be looking at Paul’s letter to the Philippians and working through different themes.

Chapter 1: Thanksgiving and joy (A Harvest of joy)
Paul begins by thanking God for the Philippians’ partnership in the gospel and also expresses confidence that God will complete His good work in them.
Even in the midst of his imprisonment Paul finds immense joy in the Philippians’ steadfast dedication and how that their steadfast love has inspired others. His imprisonment has enabled others to be encouraged to spread the gospel.
Paul’s ultimate desire is to honour Christ whether that is through His life or His death, finding joy in the knowledge that Christ is glorified regardless of the circumstances.

Key lesson: Joy does not come from perfect circumstances but from knowing Christ and trusting God’s purposes in all things.
