The story begins in Philippi, where Paul introduces three individuals that were all enslaved without the gospel. These individuals included, Lydia, the fortune telling slave-girl, and the hard working jailer.
Their lives portray dysfunction and emptiness but are completely transformed by the Gospel. True joy and Christ’s love begin to live within them, giving them a life of purpose.
Paul himself was enslaved and then by God’s grace and mercy he could pen these popular words “to live is Christ, and to die is gain” and “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”.
Join pastor Matt Chandler in this exciting DVD study course on Paul’s Epistle to the Philippians. In this, one of Paul’s most intimate letters, Chandler paints a beautiful picture of what maturity in Christ truly looks like. This is a teaching DVD Series with twelve 1/2 hour sessions.

Let’s be honest. How many times have you fallen short at being a good friend, a wise parent, or a self-giving spouse because you didn’t love—truly love—at the highest level? It’s tough. We’re bound to fail. The bar is so high, especially if you aspire to love like Jesus. But it’s not impossible.
As followers of Jesus, we were meant to radically love those around us and give the world a glimpse of what God is like. But this is easier said than done. What does it actually mean to love like Jesus? And why do we so quickly get bogged down in our own selfishness, sin, and futile efforts?
In this 6-part Bible study series, Dr. Les Parrott examines Jesus’s life and character traits to give practical definition to what it means to love like Jesus. The Holy Spirit invites us to trade detachment, exclusivity, judgment, fear, and self-concern for mindfulness, approachability, grace, boldness, and self-giving. He empowers us to love like Jesus, and frees us to experience genuine joy.
