“My prayer is that God would use Philippians to mold us more and more into a local church family whose ‘manner of life is worthy of the gospel of Christ’ and who ‘are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel’ (Phil. 1:27, ESV) and that we are more and more content in all circumstances while we are rejoicing in the Lord always (Phil. 4:4, 10-13).” – Pastor David, Introduction for Philippians
