Follow Jesus

Paul urges the Philippians living in the midst of intense Roman patriotism to follow Jesus' example and live out His story even if they're persecuted.

Messianic Poem

The Messiah Poem is a condensed version of the gospel story with Old Testament references. The rest of the book of Philippians refers to it.

Imitate

Timothy, Epaphroditus, and Paul are living examples of the story of Jesus. They participate in His suffering and sacrificial love and are worthy of imitation.

Example

Paul encourages Christians to exercise humility, be unified, vent to God who gives them peace, stop complaining, and see beauty and grace in all circumstances.

True Contentment

Paul sees his suffering as a reenactment of Jesus' life story, and hardships taught him that the secret of contentment is simple dependence on God.
