FILIPPENSE 4:21

This plan examines Paul's letter of hope and encouragement for the times of persecution and distress he and the Philippians faced.

Hierdie "dankie"-briefie aan die Filippense gee hulle 'n vreugdevolle perspektief van die moeilike tye waarin hulle verkeer en moedig hulle aan om nederig saam daardeur te gaan. Reis daagliks deur Filippense terwyl jy na die oudiostudie luister en uitgesoekte verse uit God se woord lees.

Vreugde is die tema van die boek Filippense. Dit is ongelooflik, want hierdie brief is deur Paulus geskryf terwyl hy in die tronk was. Hoe is dit moontlik om vreugdevol te wees te midde van oorweldigende hartseer en lyding? Paulus leer ons dat Jesus die Outeur en enigste bron van ware vreugde is.
