With so many prized verses and practical themes in the Book of Philippians, teaching from this epistle has great benefit. Lead people to a Christ-centered life as they grab hold of verses like the following:
1:21 – For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
3:8-9 – What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord …
4:12 – I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation …
4:13 – I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
