Living Like a Citizen of Heaven - Part 2

As we noted in our first lesson on Philippians, there was a problem with unity in the church. But the “problem beneath the problem” was one of FOCUS. Somehow, the Philippian believers had become more fixated on earthly relational problems and agendas than on their heavenly citizenship and their heavenly King. Paul’s primary purpose in this letter was to help them regain their focus on things above (2:5-8), so that their unity (2:1-4,14), might be restored and their witness to their world might be effective (2:15).
