Course Information
Course Dates: October 26-November 16, 2022 (4 sessions)
Course Time: Wednesdays 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM ET (hybrid)
Course Description
In this four-week course, we discover Paul’s special relationship with a church he loved—Philippi. Topics we will explore in this letter include: the role of suffering in the life of believers, the communal identity of Jesus-followers, and the wise use of role models and examples.
Above all, the course looks to understand the complete paradigm shift that believers undergo, living in the same world as before but according to a completely different story.
