Bible Month 2026: Explore Philippians Together
This year, Bible Month invites churches and small groups to dive into one of the most joyful and encouraging letters in the New Testament: Philippians. Written by Paul from prison, this short epistle overflows with warmth, hope, and practical wisdom for living a Christ-shaped life.
Across four weeks, you’ll discover:
- Joy that endures – Paul’s call to rejoice, even in hardship, rooted in confidence in God’s goodness.
- Christ-like humility – the famous “Christ hymn” in chapter 2, showing Jesus’ self-giving love as our model.
- Pressing on in faith – discipleship as a lifelong journey of growth and perseverance.
- Grace and peace – learning contentment and generosity in every circumstance.
