What is the guiding light of your life? Are you someone who follows the whims of your every desire? Are you driven by the tyranny of the clock and your personal schedule? Or do you have a guiding light, a compass that always points toward your "true north"? In the letter to the church in Philippi, Paul describes the compass or principles that guided Christ's life and those that guided Paul's. Paul sought to know Christ, the power of His resurrection, the fellowship of Christ's suffering. His ultimate goal was to lay hold of the rewards of the resurrection when he reached his own finish line. Neither prison nor affliction was a hindrance to him, they were simply a natural part of a life submitted to God. These are the values and purposes he urged all followers of Jesus Christ to pursue. The Study Guide for LIFE uses three methods to help the reader understand and apply the truths of this letter: 1) FYI notes explain difficult or unusual passages. 2) Text questions directs the reader back to the text to understand what it actually says, and 3) Discussion questions ask the reader to apply the concepts of the passage to personal or contemporary situations. This Study Guide for LIFE is appropriate for individuals, small groups or for teachers preparing for a class. Whether you are a curious seeker or a professional minister, this Study Guide will provide valuable insights into the teachings of Paul and will press you closer to the heart of your loving Father.
