Philippians and Philemon
Teacher: Steve King
Philippians
I’m going to play the tough professor next week in that I really expect people to read the book of Philippians. My questions are going to be somewhat of a personal nature. I’m going to do some didactics around the book teaching a little about the theme and structure of the book, but my main focus will be:
- What passages or what parts or what teachings of Philippians gives you the most strength to your personal faith? What does the book do to enhance and strengthen your faith?
- What passages challenge you the most? Which passages are the hardest for you to live up to?
- What passages cause you the most concern or are most difficult for you to understand or to apply to your lives?
