Philippians: A 12-Week Study (Knowing the Bible)

A tremendous resource for those wanting to study and teach the Bible with an understanding of how the gospel is woven throughout Scripture." Bryan Chapell, Pastor, Grace Presbyterian Church The Knowing the Bible series is a resource designed to help Bible readers better understand and apply Gods Word. These 12-week studies lead participants through books of the Bible and are made up of four basic components: (1) reflection questions help readers engage the text at a deeper level; (2) Gospel Glimpses highlight the gospel of grace throughout the book; (3) Whole-Bible Connections show how any given passage connects to the Bibles overarching story of redemption, culminating in Christ; and (4) Theological Soundings identify how historic orthodox doctrines are taught or reinforced throughout Scripture. With contributions from an array of influential pastors and church leaders, these gospel-centered studies will help Christians see and cherish the message of Gods grace on every page of the Bible. The book of Philippians challenges Christians to remember their true identity as citizens of Gods kingdom, especially when faced with difficult circumstances and painful trials. Helping us grasp the apostle Pauls gospel-centered exhortation to endurance, this guide explains the biblical text with clarity and passionencouraging us to joyfully imitate Christ in the midst of hardship.
