Affectionate Christianity

Jesus is glorified and delighted when those who love Him also love one another. As Paul arrives at the conclusion to his letter to the Philippians, he ends on a deeply personal note. Though we can learn much from Paul as a towering theologian and passionate missionary, we also do well to imitate his tender heart toward others. In this lesson, Dr. Lawson examines Paul’s words in Philippians 4:21–22 and invites believers to discover and delight in the joy, warmth, and fellowship that is found in the family of God.
