Topics
Tara-Leigh Cobble: 本集节目解读了保罗写给腓立比教会的书信。保罗在书信中表达了对腓立比教会的深厚感情，并鼓励他们在患难中保持喜乐和刚强。他回顾了在腓立比传教的经历，包括被捕入狱以及神如何使用这些经历来扩展福音，拯救了狱卒一家和一个被鬼附的女孩。保罗强调，神是那在他们心里动工，促使他们行善的主，而“努力完成自己的救恩”并非指靠自己得救，而是指在生活中活出对神救恩的感恩和敬畏。保罗在书信中也分享了他个人的经历和感受，表达了他对与主同在的渴望，以及他愿意为了腓立比教会多留一段时间。他鼓励腓立比教会在逼迫面前刚强，并强调在苦难中要彼此和睦相处，以基督为榜样，看重别人的利益。保罗还提到了提摩太和以巴弗提，并警告腓立比教会提防那些坚持割礼的人，因为他们是在给福音添加律法。他强调认识耶稣胜过一切其他的成就和特权，并鼓励腓立比教会要竭力追求认识耶稣。保罗也感谢那些与他同心服事的人，并试图修复两位女同工之间的裂痕。他鼓励腓立比教会要喜乐、合宜、祷告、平安，并解释了这些美德之间的相互关联。保罗从自身经历出发，强调只有基督才是最重要的，并感谢腓立比教会的奉献，指出神也同样供应他们。最后，保罗鼓励腓立比教会要思想那些真实、高尚、公义、纯洁、可爱、可称赞的事物，而福音则完全符合这些标准，它能充满我们的思想，并结出美好的果子。
