The Philippian church, Paul describes as his ‘joy and crown’. Confident that the Gospel had transformed this community, he writes about small things that were surfacing and could cause big problems for them (and for us). We need to keep our mind at peace so that we can clearly hear God’s voice. Paul addresses how…

Philippians is a letter from Paul, with instructions on how to live life, giving specific models to follow. Paul is concerned about who you are modelling your life, thoughts and relationships after and he gives us models to follow and models to reject (Philippians 2:19-30, 3:2,9,17, & 4:2).

It is the kindness of God that leads people to repentance (Romans 2:4).  An act of kindness will be remembered and can…
