Gospel Mission | Giving for the Gospel

While Paul meditates on Christian spirituality that has gone wrong; dependence on the flesh rather than Christ, the pursuit of personal righteousness rather than faith in Christ, rejection of the cross rather than the embrace of the cruciform life. For Paul - Christ was not just a new friend or deity he picked up to give his life added value. His relationship with Christ became an all-consuming passion. From his perspective: I have not reached the finish line, but I have learned not to look back. The mission of the gospel will move forward, but it will need sacrificial partners, who will give resources, to contribute to the wider gospel mission.

Gospel Citizens | Two Models of Humility & Obedience

The first chapter focused on Paul's situation. While Paul addresses the uncertainty of his fate, he admits that he is full of thanksgiving, hope, and joy, because the gospel is spreading unabated, and it has been propelled by his chains. Paul was focused on giving his readers confidence and hope in the unstoppable gospel.
Paul now challenges the Philippians not to shrink back in intimidation and hesitation, but to move forward in hope and joy, working together as one community in the good fight of faith. He calls them to fearless obedience to the gospel, but he first affirms the necessity of humility and unity, in which Christ is our perfect example. He will go on to give further examples of Christlike humility, self-sacrifice, and cooperation and obedience in view of the gospel mission.

Unstoppable Gospel | Death is Gain, Life is Christ

Paul is locked up in prison facing an uncertain future and there are some people around him who are stirring up trouble, trying to jeopardize Paul's life and ministry. Combine this with the challenges facing the believers in Philippi, and the Philippians might have wondered - how is the gospel "good news" for us? Is this religion a blessing or a curse? Were we wrong to put our faith in the apostle Paul, seemingly a powerful leader, and now a lowly prisoner? Perhaps they thought have we suffered so much for nothing? Paul did not hesitate to respond with boldness and confidence - not only has this situation not impeded his mission; it has actually propelled it. Why? Because Paul believed the gospel of Jesus Christ is an unstoppable force. So in a way, Paul relishes when he faces an obstacle, because he knows God will find a way through it (even if the way is hard).
