Philippians: Let This Mind Be in You

In this 2002 study, “Philippians: Let This Mind Be in You”, Bro. Bill Link Jr. covers Paul’s warm and deeply personal letter to the believers in Philippi. Over six days, Bro. Bill looked at the letter’s themes of unity, humility, joy, and steadfast faith. Speaking from the heart, he invited his audience to think as Paul thought, to love as Jesus loved, and to live with a mind shaped by the gospel. This series is both a careful study of Scripture and an encouragement to let its truths transform everyday life.

I Thank My God Upon Every Remembrance of You

This opening study reflects on Paul’s heartfelt gratitude for the Philippian believers. Even while imprisoned, Paul’s prayers overflowed with joy because of their partnership in the gospel. The class considers how thankfulness, prayer, and confidence in God’s ongoing work can shape our outlook, fostering a deep connection with fellow believers and a hope-filled trust in God’s plan for each of us.

My Earnest Expectation and Hope

Drawing from Philippians chapter 1, this class looks at Paul’s unwavering commitment to honor Christ in both life and death. The discussion highlights the courage that comes from knowing that, whatever the outcome, Christ will be magnified. Bro. Bill encourages a faith that stands firm under pressure, with a life purpose rooted in service and a readiness for the Lord’s return.

Let This Mind Be in You

Here, the focus turns to the humility and obedience of Jesus as described in Philippians 2. Listeners are called to set aside self-interest and embrace the mindset of Christ—placing others above themselves and willingly serving, even at personal cost. The class reflects on how such humility brings unity and mirrors the character of our Lord.

We Rejoice in Christ Jesus

Building on Paul’s call to imitate Christ, this session explores the exaltation of Jesus and the joy found in belonging to him. Bro. Bill draws from both Old and New Testament passages to show how God has highly exalted his Son, and how this truth inspires reverence, worship, and a deeper appreciation of Jesus’ present role in our lives.

I Press Toward the Mark

In this study of Philippians 3, Paul’s single-minded pursuit of the prize of God’s calling is set before us as a model for our own discipleship. Bro. Bill urges believers to forget what lies behind and to strain forward with focus and determination, shaping their lives around the goal of being like Christ in the resurrection.

The Peace of God

The closing class centers on Philippians 4, where Paul offers practical counsel for resolving conflicts and maintaining joy. The “peace of God” is presented not as a vague feeling but as a guarding presence over our hearts and minds. Through prayer, right thinking, and gentle dealings with others, believers can live in harmony, stand firm in the Lord, and experience the calm assurance that comes from trusting him.
