Philippians - Choosing Joyنموونە
Reflection Questions:
1. Verse 6 says that Jesus will bring the good work in us to completion. What does this mean?
2. Why is it important to couple love with knowledge and discernment (vs. 9)?
3. How did God turn Paul's imprisonment and sufferings to advantage?
4. What advantage is Paul referring to when he says, "to live in Christ"? What advantages might Paul be thinking of when he says, "to die is to gain"?
5. Paul talks about not being frightened by our opponents. What might we be frightened of and how do we stand firm with courage?

About this Plan
Joy is the theme in the book of Philippians, which is pretty amazing considering this letter was written by Paul while he was in prison. How is it possible to have joy in the midst of overwhelming sorrow and suffering? In the end, Paul teaches us that Jesus is the Author and only source of true joy.
