Fall 2026: The Book of Philippians

Among Paul's letters in the New Testament, his letter to the Philippians stands out for its emotional warmth and its recurring theme of Christian joy. Indeed, Philippians is often called "the letter of joy." While joy is often associated with happiness, they are not the same thing. Whereas happiness is a feeling that comes and goes depending on our circumstances, the book of Philippians shows us that Christian joy is an inner quality of our hearts that is based in knowing God himself and having a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus; and Christian joy both anchors us in the face of pressures and challenges that might come our way, and sustains us to persevere and overcome.
