A Bible teaching titled “Through the Bible | Philippians 1” from Philippians 1 by Brett Meador.

As we begin our study through Philippians, we find Paul imprisoned in Rome, yet overflowing with joy as he writes to the church in Philippi. As we examine what brings Paul joy in Philippians 1, we discover that when our fellowship, trials, and faith are centered on the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we too can experience great joy in every circumstance.

Though our victory has already been secured in Christ, we are still engaged in an ongoing spiritual battle and must arm ourselves against the enemy's tactics. In Ephesians 6:10-24, we learn to identify our enemy, understand the armor God has given us, and how to tap into the power of His Word as we stand firm against the schemes of the devil.

Having established who we are in Christ, Paul begins to show us what it means to walk in love, light, and wisdom. As we study Ephesians 5:1–6:9, we learn how walking in these ways should be reflected in both our behavior and in relationships among husbands and wives, children and parents, and those entrusted with responsibility over others.

As each generation comes and goes, culture continues to redefine marriage, usually missing God's intent for it altogether. In Ephesians 5:22-33, Paul gives us God's design for husbands and wives – a design that points to the greater picture of Christ's love for the church.
