Philippians 1:1-11

We begin a new series on the Letter of Philippians, Pressing On. It’s about a small congregation in the heart of the militaristic and calloused Roman Empire whose very existence could elicit threats and danger. It’s about a community of believers – imperfect as all such communities are – whom Paul referred to as “saints.” And it’s about the preserving power of the Holy Spirit in these and all believers’ lives, which is why the he could assert that, despite all the adverse pressure, God would complete the work he began in them. And in us.
