Presentation transcript:

 The city of Philippi is located in Greece, on a plain about 10 miles inland from the Aegean Sea.  The Via Egnatia, the main overland route between Asia and the West, ran through this ancient city.  The church at Philippi was established by Paul on his second missionary journey in about 52 A.D.

 The theme of the book of Philippians is joy. Joy only comes from knowing Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and following Him.  There are many references in the book of Philippians to the mind.  Instead of being filled with doubts and worry our minds should be filled with the joy of the Lord.

1. Christ is the Purpose of my Life Philippians 1: 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.  21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.  22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don't make known what I will choose.  23 But I am in a dilemma between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.  24 Yet, to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.

2. Christ is the Pattern of my Life Philippians 2:  5 Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,  6 who, existing in the form of God, didn't consider it robbery to be equal with God,  7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.  8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross.

3. Christ is the Prize of my Life Philippians 3: 13 Brothers, I don't regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before,  13 Brothers, I don't regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before,  14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

4. Christ is the Power of my Life Philippians 4:  12 I know how to be humbled, and I know also how to abound. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need.  13 I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.
