Life Lessons by Max Lucado
Philippians, Colossians, & Philemon Study
Philippians-An unexpected bill, upcoming doctor appointment, tense family visit. Every day struggles creep into our lives, leaving us stressed, frustrated, anxious, just plain miserable. The believers in Philippi were trying to grow in faith and live for Christ. From prison, the apostle Paul wrote about living a life full of joy, peace, and contentment. His letter could have focused on his own troubles, but instead, he reminds us of important biblical truths and points us to Jesus as the ultimate example.
Colossians/Philemon-Do you remember when God amazed you? When he marvelously provided for you? Sadly, sometimes we forget God's mercy. We lose sight of his grace. The early believers in the Colossian church had forgotten. Instead, they were impressed by spiritual claims from false teachers, and the church was starting to add some extras to salvation. The apostle Paul's letters reminded them that Jesus is all we will ever need. Paul encourages, challenges, and gives principles for living and interacting at work, in our families, and our churches. Paul also knew that one of his friends had been betrayed and had every reason to seek revenge. So Paul wrote to Philemon encouraging him to rise above his hurt and show mercy, forgiveness, grace, and love. Paul's letters remind us of the difference Christ makes in every aspect of our lives.
