Just how relevant is this letter? Let me ask you some questions, “Where are you going to find meaning and purpose in life?” Welcome to Philippians. Paul says, “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Phil 1:21, ESV). Do you need Christian friendships that are deep and encouraging? This letter provides marvelous application for building and sustaining true community. Does your church need to grow in unity (what church doesn’t?)? Then read this letter. Though Paul loves this church and refers to it as his “joy and crown” (Phil 4:1), disunity exists (4:2). He provides wonderful instruction for us as we seek to unite in the Gospel.
