5. Loss for Christ

September 14, 2025
In Philippians 3:1-9, Paul sees Christ as worth immeasurably more than anything else in this world. It's an incredible challenge for us, and at the same time liberating.
A key theme for Paul in his letter to the church in Philippi is koinonia, which we translate as sharing, participation, communion. Through the good news of Jesus we share in Christ, in the Holy Spirit and so also each other in the church.
