COURSE DESCRIPTION
In an era marked by frustration, could you use more contentment? In a world filled with anxieties, worries, and fears, could you stand to have a bit more joy? This course is designed to teach students how to have joy and contentment in life. The book of Philippians was written while The apostle Paul was stuck in a Roman prison when he wrote to this young church. His letter could have focused on his own troubles. Instead, he wrote about living a life full of joy, peace, and contentment. Paul’s confidence reminds us of God’s wisdom and control in the difficult moments of life. His excitement challenges us to walk in joy and contentment.

Philippians Week 4 - Following Jesus' Example
This week's Scripture reading is on the long side. These verses are a series of imperative statements that Paul gave to the Christians in Philippi and in essence we can say he gives to us today.

Philippians Week 5 - Timothy and Epaphroditus
Earlier in chapter 2, Paul presented Jesus as an example of humility and sacrifice. Verses 19-30 read like a travelogue. It feels different. But if we look deeper, we’ll see the connection: two men who exemplify the Christ-like qualities he spoke of earlier. The Lord is our model; and Timothy and Epaphroditus are model Christians.

Philippians Week 7 - Challenge to Live the Example
As Paul draws his letter of Philippians to a close, he will once again call on the believers to "stand firm" and "be of the same mind in the Lord" (Philippians 1:27; 4:1-2). But this time, Paul will leave them with some practical instructions for how they can, in fact, live in such a way: by rejoicing in the Lord always, showing gentleness to all, refusing to give in to anxieties, and by presenting their needs-with thanksgiving-to the heavenly Father. As Paul notes, following this "prescription" for life leads to a wonderful result: the perfect peace of God.

Philippians Week 8 - Closing Thanks
Concluding this letter to his beloved Philippian congregation, Paul expressed his deeply felt gratitude to them. He had enjoyed a special relationship with them since the founding of the church at Philippi. At one point in Pauls ministry, they were the only church that had supported him financially. Now they had again sent him a gift, and this passage is Paul's thank-you note to them. Beneath the surface of Paul's expression of thanks to the Philippians is the picture of a man utterly content in spite of such severe circumstances. Paul knew how to rejoice in every circumstance and be free from anxiety and worry, because his heart was guarded by the peace of God and the God of peace. His example is especially relevant to our utterly discontented culture.
