In four short chapters Paul took the most humiliating circumstance imaginable and re-cast it as a badge of honour. From across the Mediterranean he led his young church in a moment of worship that beautifully expressed the nature of Jesus in self-sacrifice and the pride God takes in honouring generosity. This short study locates Paul in his context, ministering from a prison cell to an unlikely group of loyal pastors, urging them to find their lives in God's story. Understanding the letter to the Philippians is a powerful invitation to live differently to the world around us and find hope in the worst of situations today.
