God has given us one book that can change the entire direction of our lives, the Bible.

And in this study, journeying through scriptures, we will take a brief big-picture look at every book of the Bible, tracing God's unfolding story from Genesis to Revelation.

Our prayer is that this journey will stir your heart to open God's word daily.

Let's join Scott Pauli for today's study.

Do you have a favorite book of the Bible? Well, on our journey we have come to my favorite today.

Have you been listening to our broadcast for some time,

you know that we actually began our enjoying the journey broadcast

with a study of this book.

And so we've spent a lot of time in it, and my goal today

is simply to give you a brief overview of the book of Philippians. It only has 104 verses,

and is much more practical than some of the other books, and it is deeply personal. It is one of the

most personal things the Apostle Paul ever wrote. He loved the

people at Philippi. You can read the story in the book of Acts of him coming to Philippi. It was there

that Lydia, the seller of purple, got saved and the church started meeting in her house. It was there

that a demon-possessed girl, a slave girl, was set free. It's the only recorded

miracle of the Apostle Paul. Did you know that? It was in that city that Paul and Silas sang a hymn at

midnight, gave praise and thanks to God, and a jailer got gloriously saved. He heard the message,

believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.

The church at Philippi was the fruit of Paul's obedience to a vision he had when he saw a man

saying, come over into Macedonia and help us. I tell you, when you obey God, you never know

what's going to come out of him. And when you never know what's going to be produced because of. When you never know what's going to be produced

because of your obedience to God's call in your life.
