What the Bible says about Philippian Church
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Philippians 1:8 Paul felt great affection for these people. It seems that Paul felt affection for no congregation as he did for the Philippians. They seem to have been his finest congregation. Any criticism that appears in his letter to them is miniscule by comparison to his letters to other churches. It contains his sweetest, kindness expressions for them. They did not seem to be a rich congregation like the Corinthians, and there is no indication that they were a large congregation, but they seem to have been on the ball spiritually. He loved them.

Philippians 1:9-11 Were those in the Philippian church perfect? Certainly, they had their problems, yet Paul overlooked all the petty matters and focused on the goal that Jesus gives to each of the members of His church, praying accordingly. When we follow Paul's example, our sights are lifted above the trivialities that confront us daily, realigning us on what Christ desires for each of us. John O.

Philippians 1:27 Paul wrote this to the Philippian church, considered to be one of his better, most beloved congregations, before the major apostasy of the late first century hit full stride. However, he was already beginning to warn them that they needed to be united in one spirit and one mind and strive, show some effort, work hard, to keep the unity of the faith. Richard T.
