Episode 213: Audio Library - A Short Introduction to the Epistle of Philippians

This chapter presents Philippians as a deeply personal and affectionate letter, written by Paul from imprisonment. Kelly highlights how the epistle centers on Christ as the believer’s life, pattern, and hope, with joy flowing not from circumstances, but from fellowship with Him.

Unlike letters focused primarily on doctrine or correction, Philippians emphasizes practical Christian experience — humility, unity, service, and contentment — all rooted in devotion to Christ.

In this chapter, you will hear about:

• The circumstances under which Paul wrote to the Philippians

• Christ as the believer’s life, example, and goal

• Joy and contentment in suffering

• Unity, humility, and practical Christian walk
