PHILIPPIANS
Contending for the Faith of the Gospel
As we continue the series through the book of Philippians together here is a personal, weekly reading plan for you. It is recommended that you read through the passages once each week until the series concludes. It is my prayer for you as you read that God would strengthen your heart and encourage your spirit. I also pray that God will shape us into a community of Contenders for the Faith of the gospel, standing firm as one man, unified around His purpose of sharing the Gospel, arm in arm united in heart, soul and mind. Feel free to begin at any time and read at your own pace: Click Here for a Printer Friendly Version
