The Philippians and all Jesus followers are to stand firm by pursuing peace, joy, gentleness, trust, prayer and right thinking – matters that Paul has taught and modeled.

The Philippians are to follow Paul in rejoicing by trusting in Christ alone as their complete righteousness.
We trust in the sufficiency of Christ’s redemption so we can live as citizens of heaven.

Paul celebrates with joy his connection with the church in Philippi.
We can celebrate with joy, thanksgiving and prayers to the community of God’s family.

Longing for God will bring us blessing in the midst of life’s journeys.
