The Book of Philippians - Freedom in shackles

September 16, 2025

Ever wondered how one of the New Testament's most joyful letters was born out of prison bars, earthquakes, and Roman beatings? Join us as we dive deep into the incredible backstory behind Paul's letter to the Philippians.


We'll explore the dramatic events of Acts 16, where Paul and Silas experienced their first European ministry through imprisonment, supernatural intervention, and unexpected conversions in the Roman colony of Philippi. Then we'll connect these founding moments to Paul's later pastoral warnings in 2 Timothy 3, where he prepares Timothy for the "difficult times" ahead and emphasizes the power of Scripture to equip believers for every good work
