Overflowing Love

Paul writes a letter of deep affection to the church in the city of Philippi. He has walked with them for ten years, sharing life and faith. He knows their joys and tensions—and he knows they have relational struggles. The church community faces conflicts that threaten its unity. Paul doesn’t simply instruct them on how to behave. He talks to God about their struggles and writes a prayer asking God to help them grow increasingly in love for one another.
