Нақшаҳои хониши ройгон ва садоқатҳои марбут ба Philippians 2:2

Paul wrote the book of Philippians to the church in Philippi around 60 A.D., and it's filled with verses of thanksgiving and joy. And even though Paul wrote what is now considered one of the most joyful books in the Bible, he wrote it while in prison. He didn't let his circumstances stop him from rejoicing and giving gratitude to God, and neither should we. As we read Philippians, we're challenged to follow Paul's example of joy no matter the situation, ultimately learning to follow Jesus with our hearts and our lives.

We're going to look at the importance of encouragement, how we encourage others, how discouragement works and how God encourages us. I hope the series will be a great blessing to you.

The first part of the Lord’s Prayer focuses on the Lord God. In the second part, beginning with "give us this day our daily bread," the prayer takes a turn and begins to address topics such as hunger, evil, temptation, and other issues. Shall we talk about that? Edilaney, from Brazil!!!

Paul is in prison, and his situation seems hopeless. And yet, he rejoices? For good reason, the letter to the Philippians is known as the "Epistle of Joy." Paul invites us into his inner world, showing how a peace and joy that surpass all understanding are possible through a relationship with Jesus (cf. Philippians 4:7). This 17-day reading plan will guide you through the letter to the Philippians—ideal for personal or group study. Be encouraged anew to fix your eyes on Christ, no matter your current situation.

Jesus makes it really clear for us in John 15, that we must abide in Him, for apart from Him we can do nothing.

The more we engage with the Bible and with God, the more we will grow and produce the good fruit in our lives He desires for us. Come on. Let’s read His Words of life together!
