Philippians Bible Study Guide plus Streaming Video

Joy is everywhere in the book of Philippians. The emotion that Paul poured out in his letter to the church in Philippi shines through in every one of its 104 verses...and Paul wrote it as a prisoner chained to a Roman guard.

What gives the Apostle Paul such resounding joy, even in the face of suffering and persecution In this six-session study (streaming video included), bestselling author and pastor Mark Batterson serves as a tour guide on the letter to the Philippians; uncovering the major themes of joy, gratitude, unity, and purpose found in this inspiring letter.

This study guide has everything you need for a full Bible study experience, including:

• The study guide itself—a 40 Day reading plan through Philippians with discussion and personal reflection questions, video notes, and a leader's guide.
• An individual access code to stream all six video sessions online (you don't need to buy a DVD!).

The heartbeat of Philippians is for believers to have a Jesus-centered vision of life: a radical vision that, when seen fully, enables us to embrace joy no matter the circumstances.

The 40 Days Through the Book series has been designed to help believers more actively engage with God's Word.

Each study will be recorded in the author's place of residence and will highlight stories and applications that are relevant to his or her ministry in that area.
