Philippians 1

During his second missionary journey, Paul travelled through the city of Philippi and planted a church there. As is evident from the opening chapter of Philippians, Paul had a deep love for this congregation and he has no trouble expressing his affection. His occasion for writing is to inform them about the details of his imprisonment, and even in such circumstances, Paul’s mind and heart are focused on the gospel of Christ going forward. He springboards from reflections on dying for the sake of Christ into encouraging the church the live lives worthy of the gospel of Christ. Whether by his life or by his death, it is evident that Paul does everything for the glory of God. ::: Christian Standard Bible translation. All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.
