Philippians A Self-guided Study for Individuals or Groups by Diane Junker Pdf

Philippians has been called “The Epistle of Joy” and Paul’s warmest and most personal letter. Surprisingly, this letter was written by the apostle Paul to Philippian believers who lived with circumstances few would equate with joy. However, Paul’s words reveal his secret to contentment: the understanding of all Christ has done and is able to do for every believer. In Philippians: A Self-Guided Study for Individuals or Groups, author Diane Junker offers a chapter-by-chapter journey through the book of Philippians. The questions are designed to help discover the meaning of the Bible passage by looking at one verse, one phrase, or even one word at a time. The questions and helpful commentary quotes in this study guide help you uncover the meaning of scripture and encourage you to apply these treasures of truth to your life. These words of wisdom carry a powerful meaning for us today as we face many of the same obstacles and pressures these early believers faced. In this letter, we find ourselves, like them, being led to the source of joy that can be ours.

Philippians Bible Study Guide plus Streaming Video by Lori Wilhite Pdf

DISCOVER THE HAPPINESS YOU’VE BEEN CHASING Many of us spend our lives chasing happy through relationships, success, and the next adventure. Yet, we only discover a dryness in our souls. Why? Because we’re chasing the wrong kind of happy. We chase temporary happiness instead of the eternal happiness found in Jesus. Sometimes, we wonder if God wants us to be happy. Someone said that God cares more about our holiness than our happiness like the two are disconnected. But what if the pursuit of happiness was adjacent to the pursuit of holiness? The problem isn’t that God doesn’t want us to be happy. The problem is that we’re chasing happy in the wrong things. Happiness is ours when we chase God’s joy, His purpose, His unity, His contentment, and His peace. Happy is captured when we chase Him. If you’ve ever struggled with laying hold of true happiness, this study is for you! Discover the incredible truth that happy isn’t found in the circumstances around us, but the power of Jesus in us.

Philippians by Irving L. Jensen Pdf

This self-study guide will introduce you to the church at Philippi, where Paul maintained a close and unique relationship with the people who supported him spiritually and financially. Out of a heart of gratitude he wrote them a thank-you letter while imprisoned at Rome. In it Paul describes one of the most important and poignant teachings regarding Jesus Christ. In the second chapter he discusses kenosis--the self-imposed humiliation that typified the life of the Lord as a humble servant, whose obedience went as far as an undeserved sacrificial death for humanity. If you are looking for a comprehensive, challenging tool to use in personal, group, or class Bible study, you will find the Jensen Bible Self-Study series an exciting way to better understand the important truths of God's Word. Each response-oriented guide in the 39-book series features helpful charts, graphs, maps, and ideas for projects and further study. You will refer back to each completed guide as a reference again and again as you study the Scriptures. This study series has enabled millions to effectively explore and understand God's eternal message, and it continues to be a widely-used tool for Bible study today.

Philippians by Bruce G. Epperly Pdf

Philippians: A Participatory Study Guide is the sixth volume in the Participatory Study Series. From beginning to end, the student is invited to absorb the text and allow God's message to change her or his life. At the same time, it maintains the series standard of providing a guide that takes account of current biblical scholarship and helps the student examine the text critically while also listening to and being guided by the Holy Spirit. This guide contains eight lessons suitable for use by an individual student, but best used in a small group. The lessons are clearly written so that a laity-led class or small group can use them to advantage. In addition, there is a guide to using the book that provides insights into Bible study in general, and two appendices, one outlining the process of Bible study and one listing and describing useful resources. Each lesson includes prayers, spiritual exercises, thought questions, and theological reflection. These are designed to help students learn to see the text in a new way and to realize their full potential through the power of the Holy Spirit. This book will not only impact your knowledge of scripture; it will change the way you pray, live, witness, and relate to your community of faith and the world.

Philippians and 1 and 2 Thessalonians by Scot McKnight Pdf

Become a daily Bible reader, attentive to the mind of God. In the New Testament Everyday Bible Study Series, widely respected biblical scholar Scot McKnight reveals the newness and activeness of God's Word as it works in our everyday lives. His unique approach to Bible study combines sound theology with relevant pastoral wisdom. Each volume of this series provides: Original Meaning: Brief, precise expositions of the biblical text and offers a clear focus for the central message of each passage. Fresh Interpretation: Brings the passage alive with fresh images and what it means to follow King Jesus. Practical Application: Biblical connections and questions for reflection and application for each passage. Ideal for personal reflection or group study, Philippians and 1 and 2 Thessalonians will help you see God in the biblical context so you can hear from God in your context. Philippians and the Thessalonians address believers in the first century and in the twenty-first century with words that are practical and deeply spiritual: Philippians appeals for unity and rejoicing in the face of suffering. 1 and 2 Thessalonians emphasize having a heart of thanksgiving and discuss the return of Christ. Kingdom living is the shape of life in Christ. These letters have taught Christians since the first century to live a life shaped by confidence in what God has promised us, but also to live that life without trying to escape from this world. Exploring the links between the time these words were written and our own times, Scot McKnight uncovers the enduring relevance and importance of these three letters for our lives today. He’ll walk you and your group through the books with Scripture passages (sometimes translated from the original by McKnight himself), reflection questions, pastoral insights, and ideas for putting God’s words into action.
