The book of Philippians is a fascinating study of many topics, all bound up in one great theme: the finished work of Christ in His death and resurrection (Phi 2:5–11). It is a letter of thanksgiving to the Philippian church (Phi 1:3; 4:10, 14). It is a letter of encouragement to them as they face many trials (Phi 1:28–30). In it, Paul gives an update on his prison status (Phi 1:12–18), and news of one of their own members who was with him (Phi 2:25–30). Above these things, it is a call to enter into the unshakeable joy of those who know that Jesus Christ controls human history.
These notes from the Book of Philippians were originally created for a conference in South Florida in March 2008.

Upper Room Discourse #3

Upper Room Discourse #3

1st John reflects on what John learned in the Upper Room: . Joh 13:31-35 "...God is glorified in Him...a new commandment ... love... by this all will know". In the upper room Jesus knew what was in the heart of his disciples, but still "...loved them to the uttermost (Joh 13:1)". Jesus suffered personal hostility (Joh 13:18-30); if you are growing in grace you'll experience the same. Internal opposition (Joh 13:36-38 through Joh 14:1-11). Hostility from the world (Joh 15:18-25). Hostility from the Devil himself (Joh 14:30).

Scripture References: John 13:1, John 13:31-35, John 14:30, John 15:18-25, John 14:1-11, John 13:36-38, John 13:18-30
