This chapter presents Philippians as a deeply personal and affectionate letter, written by Paul from imprisonment. Kelly highlights how the epistle centers on Christ as the believer’s life, pattern, and hope, with joy flowing not from circumstances, but from fellowship with Him.

Unlike letters focused primarily on doctrine or correction, Philippians emphasizes practical Christian experience — humility, unity, service, and contentment — all rooted in devotion to Christ.

In this chapter, you will hear about:

• The circumstances under which Paul wrote to the Philippians

• Christ as the believer’s life, example, and goal

• Joy and contentment in suffering

• Unity, humility, and practical Christian walk

This chapter addresses one of Paul’s most urgent and forceful letters. Kelly explains how the Epistle to the Galatians was written to confront a serious departure from the truth of the gospel, as believers were being drawn away from grace and back under the law. Paul writes with authority and clarity to defend justification by faith alone and the believer’s liberty in Christ.

In this chapter, you will hear about:

• The occasion and urgency behind Paul’s letter to the Galatians

• The danger of mixing law with grace

• Paul’s defense of his apostleship and the gospel he preached

• Christian liberty, sonship, and life in the Spirit
