John Green looks at Paul's letter to the Christians in the city of Philippi, his 1. Joyful thanksgiving 2. Joy in their gospel partnership 3. Great confidence in the Christians there, and 4. Paul's genuine affection for them. From this letter, John shows how we can learn to be thankful for other Christians and God's church, and rejoice in how a "strange mix" of people with a bond of Christian love from Christ become committed to a shared vision of spreading the gospel. We also learn the importance of prayer and how praying for one another both grows our love and shows our love
