Chunks: Paul's Letter to the Philippians | Episode 20: It’s a sign!

Before we finish chapter 1, we need to circle back to an odd little sentence that I skipped over: “This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God” (vs. 28b).

What is Chunks: Paul's Letter to the Philippians ?

Of all of the apostle Paul's letters, his letter to the church in Philippi is one of the most beloved.

At the same time, he addresses the challenges that are coming at them from both outside and inside the congregation. We will explore his warm, wise counsel for its relevance today.
