                                    Epistle to the Philippians bible study

            Next up is Paul and Timothy’s- it was written by both men, though mainly I suspect by Paul, from prison- epistle to the Philippians and their church. It generally is a rather happy epistle commending them for much good works, and their relationship with the Lord but also it has good advice for us nowadays too, for the bible is a timeless thing. There are many encouraging words in this epistle for people to read and be lifted up and grow in Christ with them.

            In chapter one the authors assure us that God will finish the work that He started in us in Christ Jesus then they want the Philippians to be even more abounding in love and filled with the fruits of righteousness. Regardless of motivations of presenting Christ Paul is just happy that Christ is proclaimed and the gospel spread, so that people can be saved as a result although Paul would...

            Here is a bible study consisting of  both of Paul’s letters to Timothy, someone whom Paul regarded as a spiritual son and these letters were written to lead, guide, instruct, give directions and commands, help Timothy correct others on his own ministry and missions.
