Aim: To joyfully embark on a life of gospel grace.
Doctrine: Philippians celebrates the joyful and hopeful prospects of the gospel's success. Despite having an entire fallen world against it, the good news of Christ is bound to thrive.
Exegesis: The bases of our audacious hope: Christ speaks through His appointed messengers (v. 1a); Christ loves a gathered church on earth (v. 1b); Christ is kindly-disposed to His people (v. 2).
Further application: Our proper responses to God's gracious encouragement: venture all on the gospel, with reckless abandon; and be willing to suffer and prosper, for Christ's glory.
Key verse: v. 1 ''Paul and Timothy, bondservants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with the bishops and deacons.''
