For Further Discussion & Application:

Why would Paul seemingly stop his exhortations to the Philippians to tell them about these travel plans? Why does he include this section here?

How does this passage speak about God's providence?

What are the qualities that characterize Paul's friendships with Timothy and Epaphroditus? Make a list and star the most important qualities.

Epaphroditus had risked his life, and had nearly died. How do we strike the balance between wisdom and risk-taking for Christ? Are there principles in Scripture to guide us? Do we have a tendency to avoid pain under the pretense of 'the balanced Christian life'?

Sunday Lunch Question:

We are halfway through the book of Philippians. What are three major take-aways from the first two chapters of the book? What has the Lord taught you through our study? How is your Scripture Memory coming (in the Study Guide)?
