پلانی خوێندنەوەی بێبەرامبەر و بابەتی پەرستشی پەیوەست بە فیلیپی 1:27

This plan is intended as a guide to discovering the message of Philippians for yourself! Grab a notebook to jot down your thoughts as you are led through a process of: (1) observing the text of Philippians; (2) interpreting the original message to the church at Philippi; and (3) applying the letter’s timeless truths to your own life.

Like so many people, do you struggle to grasp joy and hold on to it? In this week’s devotional from best-selling author and pastor Randy Frazee, we’ll discuss a few of the principles from his book "The Joy Challenge"—an exploration of the letter to the Philippians and the timeless, encouraging advice offered to us by the apostle Paul.

God created people so we could enjoy intimate fellowship with Him and give Him the praise and recognition He deserves, but we messed things up. Through Adam, sin entered the world and separated all of us from God. Imperfect, limited people, we are helpless to undo what sin has done, but God is not! For generations, His rescue plan remained a mystery, but now it’s been revealed.

This 5-day Philippians Plan explores the first chapter of Paul’s joyful letter. Discover what it means to live as citizens of heaven, set apart as living sacrifices, trusting God to complete His work in you. Reflect on practical teachings that inspire a deeper relationship with God, helping you stay faithful through challenges. Through themes of identity, perseverance, and surrender, this plan encourages you to live with purpose, joy, and a heavenly perspective.

In uncertain times, anxiety, fear, and worry often take over. Our thoughts run wild with “what ifs.” But this is not where God wants us to live! This six-week devotional will refocus your attention on Scripture and remind you of God’s promises of peace, rest, and assurance when you trust Him for what you cannot see.

What kind of person can sit in prison and write a book about joy? The apostle Paul’s joy transcended his earthly circumstances, and he felt compelled to share it with his friends at Philippi. He teaches that happiness is found through Christlike humility, contentment, and service. In just six short lessons, favorite teacher Dr. J. Vernon McGee shows you what it means to have that same kind of joy.

Do you ever feel like you just can’t catch a break in life? I have good news—you don’t have to live broken and defeated. God gives us the ability to rise above our challenges and live with supernatural joy—and we find the keys in the book of Philippians. I invite you to journey with me to know Christ deeper and gain practical tools for living from God’s perspective!

We know we’re going to die one day, but that seems far away. Then you wake up one morning with a sore throat and an earache. A few tests later, the news comes back that you have cancer. What?! That can’t be! But. it. is. If you are battling sickness or an emotional pain, I pray you will find hope through what God taught me on this journey.

When we speak of marriage, words like “commitment” and “hard work” don’t exactly ring with fairy tale-like charm. After all, love should be easy, right? Well, the truth is, relationships that stand the test of time take a little effort. But “work” doesn’t have to equate to “drudgery.” In fact, it’s the little things couples do for each other every day that God uses to enrich a marriage. As one writer put it: “Marriage is a journey, not a destination – its treasures are found, not just at the end, but all along the way.”

Taken from his book "To Live Is Christ to Die Is Gain," best-selling author Matt Chandler goes through the often quoted book of Philippians, speaking on Christian living, developing a deeper maturity in Christ, and coming to a truly vibrant faith.
