Philippians 2:5-8
God’s definition of success comes from a surprisingly different place than ours. Dr. J Vernon McGee explains this great reversal as we study one of the most glorious passages about how Jesus Christ humbled Himself for our sakes—all so we could be saved.
Philippians 2:1-6
In this study of Philippians 2, we put our magnifying glass on the person of Jesus and ask fundamental questions like: Who is He? How do we follow Him? And, what does it mean to be like Him? Dr. McGee calls this “one of the most important theological passages of the Bible.”
Philippians 1:14-30
Paul reports to the believers that his imprisonment and mistreatment did not hinder the spread of the gospel, but rather worked out for the furtherance of it.
Philippians 1:9-13
Christians are called to love: To love one another, to love our neighbors, even to love our enemies. It sounds noble, but it’s often the hardest thing God asks us to do. Dr. J. Vernon McGee reminds us that in our weakness, God gives us the grace to do what we can’t on our own.
Philippians 1:6-9
It's true: God who began a good work in us will finish what He started. Paul assures the Philippians—and believers today—of our eternal security in Christ.
Philippians 1:2-6
Paul wrote from prison to the church at Philippi, reminding them that joy doesn't depend on outward circumstances but on inward condition. If we are in the center of God's will, then regardless of the circumstances there will be joy in our lives.
Philippians 1:1
What kind of person can sit in prison and write a book about joy? The apostle Paul’s joy transcended his earthly circumstances, and he felt compelled to share it with his friends at Philippi. He teaches that happiness is found through Christlike humility, contentment, and service. Find out what it means to have that same kind of joy.
