• Philippians using a big brush

  
  It broke my heart to not be at our gathering on Sunday evening.  Thank you James and Gretchen for stepping in last second to lead the evening.  Mary shared that she thoroughly enjoyed the night in both song, fun and prayer.  Now, my prayer is that all the nasty sickness has moved on from our home as each of us ended up getting sick and that it has moved on from all of your homes as well.  I'm anxious to get into Philippians.

  This coming Sunday we want to take the night to look at this letter in broad brush strokes.  Who was Paul?  What is the story of the Philippian church?  What was going on in their world?  What is the tone of the letter?  What are the major themes of this letter?  What issues are raised in the letter?  I believe though that in studying a letter it is always good to look at the whole before we begin to narrow the focus.  It keeps us from completely missing the points Paul was trying to make. 
  
  We'll see you all Sunday evening.
