- Partnership in the Gospel: Philippians 1: 1 – 11
Gilbert Lennox
Partnership in the Gospel: Philippians 1: 1–11We are going to be looking this week to Paul’s letter to his friends at Philippi. My main focus and passion is to teach the Bible and to help others to get into God’s word for themselves and it is such a privilege to do this.
43 min - Confidence in the Battle: Philippians 1: 12-30
When the theme of your letter is partnership in the Gospel then prayer is a great place to begin. God has indeed started a work in them and Paul is confident that what God has started, He will complete. Paul expresses his deep affection for the Philippians and in his loving concern, he prays for them and he tells them what he prays.

About Philippians
From the publisher's feed
Philippians contains some of the most memorable statements in the whole Bible. For to me to live is Christ… I can do all things through Him who strengthens me… Don’t be anxious about…
anything… We know these phrases but what do they mean? It is so easy to stick them on a magnet on the fridge but what is Philippians really all about? If the book of Philippians wasn’t in the New Testament, what would we be missing? What is the core message? Philippi was a Roman colony and its citizens had Roman citizenship. It was situated in one of the main trade routes. Its population was estimated at around 10,000. The church of Philippi is significant biblically and historically because it was the first European church. We saw last night the fascinating story of how this church came to be. It was a pagan city, with a strong imperial cult. There was a very small Jewish population with just a place of prayer outside the city where God-fearing gentile women would meet. It was there that Paul met Lydia and she opened her home for the new church.
