Living in Community

Yesterday, Keith shared from Philippians 2:1-13 – written by Paul to the Christians in Philippi. This unusual place in North Greece was wealthy and powerful but was handed over to Roman soldiers after a battle in 42BC. They were given land and it became a colony – a microcosm of Rome. They became ambassadors for Rome – in a similar vein to us today, of having a different allegiance to those around us. We can go out with confidence and also know that we have each other. We strive together as one for the faith of the gospel. We are better together than we are alone. Keith gave some statements and helpful pointers for living in community.
