Completion of Philippians

Today we will finish our study of Paul's epistle to the Philippians, by diving into these questions:
  1. Recall the beatitude, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God." How do the concepts in v. 8 align with the actions of a peacemaker?
  2. Do you hear the echoes of the great commandment in v. 8?
  3. What happens when you offer alms to someone or to a group that is not actually in need? Is it an empty act?
  4. Is the city of Philippi the greatest city in the Roman world? Second greatest?
  5. What part of the Our Father corresponds to v. 19 about supply for our needs?
  6. Can an ordinary civilian follow in these same footsteps and attitudes of Paul?

It is excellent to think of these things, and through them to become a doer of the Word, God's perfect Torah of freedom.
