Philippians: When our goal is not clear: New Zion Bible Study Series

I believe there is need for direction is built into our being. We not only want to know where we are, but where we are going. The problem is that the goal or direction for where we are headed can often be unclear. This is one of the main reasons the Apostle Paul wrote the letter to the church in Philippi of Macedonia. He loved this church and desired to give it the directions to finish well in their race toward the goal of knowing Messiah. He wrote this letter toward the very end of his life. Consequently, Paul lays out a map for the church, to set a correct course to finish well. The aim of this letter was to remind the church not only of their primary goal in life, but also to help the church remember that this apostle, who loved them was facing an uncertain future. That is what this study is about, setting the right goal in life and then finishing well.
