Philippians - Profiles in Providence - Florida 2008

Philippians are Paul's "joy and crown" (Phi 4:1). Five crowns possible as part of our rewards: (1) Imperishable crown (1Co 9:25); (2) Crown of life - abundant life in eternity (Jam 1:12, Rev 2:10); (3) Crown of Joy - witnessing crown (1Th 2:19, 1Pe 3:15); (4) Crown of Righteousness (2Ti 4:8) - finishing the race by what He does in us ; Crown of Glory (1Pe 5:4) - ministry crown. "Content" means sufficiency borrowed from Greek stoics (Phi 4:11-13). 3 steps to contentment: (1) "I have learned" - discipleship (Phi 4:11); (2) "I know how" (Phi 4:12) - skill of wisdom - living life God's way; (3) "I can do all things" (Phi 4:13) - "can do" (the power of God) "strengthening" our lives (giving us ability). (Ecc 10:10). A sharp axe is wisdom.

Philippians 1:12 starts out "Now I want you to know brethren that my circumstances have turned out for the greater progress of the Gospel". It's a key verse in the letter Paul wrote to those faithful believers while he was in chains.
