DISTINCTIVE FEATURES OF PHILIPPIANS & 2DISTINCTIVE FEATURES OF PHILIPPIANS & 2
TIMOTHY: PhillippiansTIMOTHY: Phillippians
•Philippi: On the road bridging East and West Roman
Empire
•Written 50-60’s AD
•1st
Church est. in Europe by Paul
•Close/Happy relationship with the church….thriving Xn
community…..but there were some problems
•Was opposed in Philippi at some point……wider
Christian persecution?
•Paul prisoner in Rome and he sees his death as the
likely outcome (1:20;2:17)
Mamertine Prison: Traditional Place Where
Paul/Peter Imprisoned

TIMOTHY: PhilippiansTIMOTHY: Philippians
•Was the return of Epaphroditus to Philippi who was sent by
church to gift Paul….he got ill
•Paul writes to give news of his circumstances
•Need for unity and peace (see 2 women at odds in 4:2) and
there are enemies of the cross (3:18)
•He wants to commend the church
•Address his opponents….Judaizers? Gnostics? (“preach Christ
out of rivalry and envy” and “their god is their stomach”)

TIMOTHY: PhilippiansTIMOTHY: Philippians
•Philippians is a rarity……a letter to a church of Paul’s own foundation with which he
is pleased
•Hymn: 2:6-11….controversy over meaning…..clear message to the greatness of X
and his condescension to man
6
Who, being in very nature[a]
God,
    did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7
rather, he made himself nothing
    by taking the very nature[b]
of a servant,
    being made in human likeness.
8
And being found in appearance as a man,
    he humbled himself
    by becoming obedient to death—
        even death on a cross!
9
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
    and gave him the name that is above every name,
10
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11
and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
    to the glory of God the Father.
•Philippians 2:6-11New International Version (NIV)
•Encouragement to Xns who find others preaching in a way they aren’t used to……
need for partnership in Gospel (1:5)

TIMOTHY: 2 TimothyTIMOTHY: 2 Timothy
•Written mid 60’s
•Very intimate (1:1-6)
•Paul is contemplating his own death (4:6-8)….this is his
testamentary charge if you will…..aware his life nearly over
•Offers “defense” of faith = “apologia” word used for defense
in a law court
•Possibly imprisoned in Rome (not the imprisonment in Acts)
•Timothy: young Christ follower from Lystra in Asia Minor, son
of Gk father and Jewish mom who converted to Xanity (Acts
16:1)…….follows Paul on some of his journeys, knew Hebrew
Scriptures from childhood, became Christian by mom and
grandmother’s influence before he met Paul
•Church had no problem in adopting it into the canon

THE OCCASION?
•Paul asks Tim to pick up Mark on way to
Rome
•Time of writing is in connection to
Eusebius’ writing that Paul was martyred
in 67AD
•Presents teaching suitable for continuing
life in the world, though it does refer to
the “last days” (3:1)

•LEADERSHIP: pictures Tim as
responsible for group of churches and for
preserving them from the destructive
influences from without and the
dissenters from within…..endurance is
the key quality of a leader

•MARTYRDOM: we live quite comfortably and secure in our Christian
world for the most part…..1988 Aust. Church Record=330,000 per year
martyred……
•Martyrdom was newsworthy recently when ISIS purportedly killed
several Coptic (native Egyptian Xns, where Xanity used to be major
religion in Egypt from 400-800 AD until Muslim conquest in mid 10th
century)
•Martyrdom is more common than we realize
•How are we to approach our attempts to follow Jesus in the light of a
collapsing empire such as we are in?....Cost of discipleship may be great

DISCUSSION ZONE: Servant LeadershipDISCUSSION ZONE: Servant Leadership
•While 2 Timothy does not mention the specific term “service,” much of book is
made up of Paul’s reflection on his own life’s work and advice to Timothy for
how to serve his church. Look at 2 Timothy 2:24:
2 Timothy 2:24New International Version (NIV)
24 And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to
everyone, able to teach, not resentful.
•Discuss the passage in order draw some lessons about service from Paul’s
letters. Describe your own thoughts on leadership and conflict regarding those
who are difficult to serve/love. Reflect on what you can learn personally from
this point of service in Paul’s letters. Focus on:
• What instance do you have of a conflict that took servant leadership to
resolve?
• What does being peaceable have to do with servant leadership?
