During November our online messages of hope will begin a new series exploring and studying the incredibly uplifting and hope-filled letter of Paul to the church at Philippi. Each day we will read a portion of the letter together and then reflect on the themes which Paul highlights and the message in its context and what he speaks to us today. Here are the portions of Scripture for each day – why not read the verses before you log on to listen to the message! Below you will also find a few suggestions of resources which have been used in preparing this Bible study which you might find useful. Enjoy!
