Filippenzen 1:1-2

The letter Paul wrote to the church in Philippi has traveled across generations to nourish and challenge our hearts and minds today. This five-day devotional gives you a taste of the book of Philippians, many centuries from when God authored it through Paul. May God fill you with wonder and expectation as you read this letter of joy! Because these are not just Paul’s words to an ancient church—these are God’s words to you.

Vreugde is het thema in het boek Filippenzen, wat behoorlijk bijzonder is aangezien deze brief door Paulus geschreven was terwijl hij in de gevangenis zat. Hoe is het mogelijk om vreugde te hebben te midden van overweldigend verdriet en lijden? Op het eind leert Paulus ons dat Jezus de Auteur is en de enige bron van ware vreugde. Onze studies zijn voor iedereen, maar speciaal gericht op vrouwen(groepen).
