    Although Paul was imprisoned, he sought to encourage the church at Philippi. He urged them to focus on Christ and His grace. Like Paul, we need to encourage others while keeping our focus on the Lord. He must be central to all we do.

Bear in mind that he and Silas had been beaten and imprisoned there. Philippi being a Roman ...read more
