Philippians Study

Philippians was written by Paul the Apostle - from prison (house arrest) during his first imprisonment in Rome 61 A.D.

It was written to the Christians at the church in Philippi (the church there was established in 50 A.D. – was probably the best organized of all of the early churches because they already had elders and deacons by the time Paul wrote this letter)

The letter was written:
- To thank the Philippians for their gifts
- To give a report on his circumstances in prison
- To encourage them to live lives of Joy and Faith in adversity
- To encourage them to practice unity and humility
- To warn against those that would force Jewish customs on Gentile Christians (Judaizers)
- To warn against those that say you can live however you like (Libertines or Antinomians)
