Hello, friends, this is Evangelist Scott Pauli. I'm so happy that you are joining our broadcast today.

Several years ago, when we first began the Enjoying the Journey broadcast, we started with my favorite book of the Bible.

I've adopted it really is my life's study on the book of

Philippians. And the theme, of course, of that great book is the joy of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Truly, it is the Bible treaties on what it means to enjoy the journey. Now we're thrilled to share

this anniversary series with you again in the hopes that God will use it in your life to help you learn to enjoy the Lord Jesus Christ at whatever stage you happen to be on on life's journey.

I trust that these studies from the Word of God today will refresh your spirit and renew your strength for the days ahead.

God bless you as you listen. There's nothing

quite like a personal letter, a letter written just to you, just for you, and a letter that's so

encouraging when you read back over it, it just ministers to you again and again.

Well, that's exactly what the letter to the church at Philippi was, because when you come to Philippians chapter 2,

the Apostle Paul is not just exhorting them to be a blessing to others.

He's doing it himself.

He is his own example of the message he's trying to deliver to them.

He's telling them, have the mind of Christ, but he's demonstrating it. He's telling them to look not

every man on their own things, but every man also on the things of others, and that's exactly what

he's doing. It's really a beautiful picture. When you come to the end of Philippians

chapter 2, you find two other examples given to us in this chapter of living for others.

Now we know Christ is the supreme example. The Apostle Paul obviously is an example,

but he names two other men by name, men that give us such a pattern of what it means to encourage others.

Now we've learned that we need to be evangelizing others and we should esteem others,

but now we learn that others also need to be encouraged.
