Philippians 1:1-2 - An Overview

Paul's greeting to the Philippian church can serve as a jumping off point for this overview message about the entire letter to the Philippians, including its themes of:

• gratitude
• joy
• rooting out false teachers, and
• unity through humility.

The background information of Philippi as a Roman colony that sat along the major Roman thoroughfare, the Via Egnatia, also helps us to understand the context of the church Paul was writing to.
