Philippians: Shaped by Jesus in the Midst of Empire

Are we being shaped by the true story of Jesus or by the empire? In his letter to a young church in the heart of the Roman Empire, the Apostle Paul helps them see how the true story of Jesus Christ transforms us to become joyful, sacrificial, content, peace-filled people; even in the midst of suffering. Together with the Philippians, we’ll see how the story of Jesus Christ, or the Gospel, is not just an idea…it’s a reality that will transform you.
