Philippians Introduction • Philippians 1:1-3 • Martin Beamer • Bethel Baptist Sunday Worship • Sept 12 2021

Join Pastor Martin Beamer as he begins a new series through the book of Philippians with an introduction to Paul’s letter to the church at Philippi. Preaching from Philippians 1:1–2, Pastor Beamer emphasizes the heart of verse-by-verse, exegetical preaching and sets the stage for themes that will run throughout the letter:

• Our position as servants of Christ
• Our status as saints set apart in Christ
• Our true comfort in grace and peace from Christ

Drawing from the historical context of Philippi — a Roman military colony — Pastor Beamer shows how Paul’s military imagery, his thanksgiving for the church’s partnership, and his call for unity prepare believers to “strive together for the advancement of the gospel.”

Whether you’re new to Philippians or revisiting this beloved letter, this message highlights why our citizenship in heaven far outweighs earthly status and how the gospel unites the church in mission.
