Journey Through Philippians (ePub)

Have you ever wanted to dig deeper into Scripture on your own but weren't sure how? Does studying the Greek seem, well, like Greek? Not sure how to apply what you read in the Bible? Or maybe in-depth study seems too time consuming. Take a journey through Philippians and see that delving into Scripture doesn't have to be so daunting.

A Journey Through Philippians is a thirty-three day in depth devotional study of the book of Philippians. It lays out the major themes of Philippians in bite size morsels allowing the concepts to be built upon as the reader progresses thru the study. Each day you will look at one to seven verses. You will begin by reading the passage and then focusing on just those verses for the day.

The devotion will then start breaking down that day's verses often with an opening narrative to lead into Paul's main theme and help you connect to the meaning of the passage. Each day brings a fresh perspective to this rich book.

Most days you will explore a few words in detail. You will dig into their Greek roots and discover their meaning. The Greek word study will clarify the context of Paul's writing and bring in history to help you have a fuller and richer understanding of the ideas being conveyed. The language is explained and laid out in an easy to understand method to allow any level of reader to learn. You do not have to figure out Greek on your own!

The author incorporates personal stories and examples to help apply the book of Philippians to your life in the here and now. Every day includes a response section for you to apply the lessons to your own life, and for God's Word to take root in you as you study and learn what God has revealed to you that day.

During this study, you'll learn background, the meaning of different words and what this all means for your life. You will discover Jesus' humble example of servanthood and ultimate sacrifice. You will find out who you are in Christ, and why God's grace is so amazing. You'll uncover the goodness of unity in the body of Christ, and probe countless reasons for thankfulness. You will learn how Paul did and you can have contentment in any and all circumstances with joy, and how God is the provider in all things. You'll see that our righteousness is in Christ alone.

Most importantly, the author's deepest desire is that you will see and know Jesus more intimately; that you will see that we all need a Savior, and the fulfillment of that need is in Jesus Christ. Even on your worst day, when you fail to do the things you know God has called you to, Jesus still loves you passionately, and when the Father looks on you, He sees Jesus' righteousness not your sin.

The author's prayer is that your desire to know your Savior and His grace on a deeper level will grow every day.
