Philippians and 1 and 2 Thessalonians: Kingdom Living in Today’s World

Ideal for personal reflection or group study, Philippians and 1 and 2 Thessalonians will help you see God in the biblical context so you can hear from God in your context. Philippians and the Thessalonians address believers in the first century and in the twenty-first century with words that are practical and deeply spiritual:

• Philippians appeals for unity and rejoicing in the face of suffering.
• 1 and 2 Thessalonians emphasize having a heart of thanksgiving and discuss the return of Christ.

Kingdom living is the shape of life in Christ. These letters have taught Christians since the first century to live a life shaped by confidence in what God has promised us, but also to live that life without trying to escape from this world.
