Welcome to Season 9! Once again, we take a look at the who, when and why behind this letter as well as major themes to help us study this book.

As we come to the end of Season 8, it's time to debrief and recap what we've been studying in Paul's letter to the Philippians.

As he concludes his letter to the Philippians, Paul gives a few final words of thanks and farwell.

With multiple opportunities to examine themselves, Paul encourages the Philippians to allow God's peace to guard their hearts.

Paul comes to the point of having the Philippians press on in their relationship with Jesus.

Paul pauses to clarify that growing in Christ is an ongoing work (see also, "sanctification").

Compared to knowing Jesus, Paul makes it very clear that any other alternative has no value.

Paul shares his personal resume to help show the Philippians that there is no confidence to be found in relying on your own qualifications.

Demonstrating the servant heart of Timothy and Epaphroditus, Paul encourages the Philippians to welcome both men as they come to their city.

After talking about serving Jesus, Paul gives an example of Timothy as he sends him to Philippi.
