Philippians 1:19-30


As we continue in chapter 1 of the book of Philippines, we see Paul making a case for joy in life or in death. Being joyful is a command and not just a suggestion. Too often we mistake happiness for joy but let us never allow the enemy to trade our precious joy for cheap happiness.

Saturday: Philippians 1:20. What does Paul mean when he says Christ will be exalted in his body?

Monday: Philippians 1:21. What would be the result if Paul lives? What would the result if he dies?

Tuesday: Philippians 1: 22–26. What was Paul’s big dilemma? What did Paul have to say about the Church boasting in Christ?

Wednesday: Philippians 1:27. What does it mean to conduct yourself in a manner worthy of the gospel? What are some of the things you do to conduct yourself in this manner?

Thursday: Philippians 1:28–30. What two things did God Grant to the people in the Philippian church?

Philippians 1:12-18


Paul is in prison in Rome writing to the Philippian believers.  This week we will see the confidence and joy that Paul had, even in his chains, knowing that God was at work and the gospel was being advanced.



Friday: Philippians 1:12 What has happened to Paul?  How do you feel his imprisonment was able to advance the gospel?   See also 2 Tim 2:8-9


Saturday: Philippians 1:13 Who do you think is the “everyone else”?


Monday: Philippians 1:14 How did Paul’s chains build confidence? How did his imprisonment dispel fear?


Tuesday: Philippians 1:1:15 What does it look like to preach out of envy and rivalry? How would you feel if someone was using you as an example of what not to do as a Christian? Or speaking against your ministry?


Wednesday: Philippians 1:16-17 What is the difference between those preaching out of love (love for whom?) and those who are preaching out of selfish ambition?


Thursday: Philippians 1:18 What did Paul consider the most important thing? It is said there is no such thing as bad publicity: Would you be able to let your own name be tarnished for the advancement of the Gospel?
