Study 2 – Preached on Sunday 4^th July 2021

GRACE AND PEACE – Philippians 1:1-2

Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and deacons: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Letters in Paul’s day (in Greek) would have a 3-word introduction – “sender to recipient, greetings”. Paul has similar, but “grace” rather than “greetings” - Why not refer to himself as an “apostle”? He was known by the Philippians - also his apostleship not challenged as at Corinth, so no need to stress his apostolic authority.

Study 1 – Preached on Sunday 20^th June 2021

SERVANTS AND SAINTS – Philippians 1:1-2

Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and deacons: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

“Rabbi” Duncan said of two converts in Budapest! - "They used to read day after day the epistles of Paul, as if they had been letters that had come by that morning's post.”

That's challenging - reading the Bible with relish is hard to maintain! Paul's introductions always contains key topics opened later in the letters - Paul writing to this church from prison/likely to be Rome as in Acts 28 v16 - this makes it even more surprising that the letter is so full of joy!
