The Philippian people were especially close to Paul. He has spent quite a while in Philippi and had grown to love them very much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look back at Acts 16 to see some of the happenings in Philippi. Paul wanted the Philippians to experience joy in their relationship with God. He also wanted them to love each other and to serve each other. Sometimes the simplest lessons are the hardest to put into practice. He wanted them to have a goal of doing God\u2019s will for their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 1 &#8211; Philippians 2<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>1. The instruction in verse 2 is addressed to a specific group of Christians. How do we understand that instruction to apply to us, and what does it instruct us to do? For instance, are the instructions to us the same as the ones to the Philippians, or do they differ? <br>2. Can you think of examples of things people do from \u201cselfish ambition or conceit\u201d today?<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed wp-block-embed-youtube is-type-video is-provider-youtube epyt-figure\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_63548\"  width=\"560\" height=\"315\"  data-origwidth=\"560\" data-origheight=\"315\"  data-relstop=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XC8jCNsPPIk?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=0&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 2 &#8211; Philippians 3<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
