- 15Bible Study: The Book of Philippians Part 1 Episode #273Today we open our Bibles and walk verse by verse through Philippians chapter 1. We’ll look at Paul’s background, his dramatic transformation from Saul to the apostle Paul, and how God used a Roman prison to produce what many call the “book of joy.” Paul was surrounded by hardship, persecution, and uncertainty, but his joy was not determined by his circumstances. His life was centered on Christ, and even his chains became a means for the advancement of the gospel. As we study this chapter, we’ll discover what it means to find joy in suffering, live boldly for Christ, and trust God to use every circumstance for His purpose. We’ll close with five practical study questions to help you apply Philippians 1 to your daily life. Open your Bible. Let’s get into the Word. For more rescuers check out: www.royedwards.org
