Paul’s message in Philippians chapter 3 urges believers to place their confidence in Christ alone rather than in religious credentials or personal achievements. He describes how he once trusted in his heritage and strict obedience to the law, but now counts it all as loss compared to knowing Christ.

This lesson highlights Paul’s call in Philippians chapter 2 to “shine as lights in the world.” Lifting up Timothy and Epaphroditus as examples of faithful service, it explores how we too can reflect Christ by trusting in Him, allowing God’s Spirit to work in and through us.

This week's lesson focuses on Philippians chapter 2, uncovering how pride, selfish ambition, and group rivalries damage relationships. Paul shows how focusing on Jesus and following His example of humility and self-sacrificing love breaks down divisions and unites believers.

The study emphasizes that God is faithful to finish the work He starts in His people and calls believers to grow in love, joy, and spiritual strength.
