Philippians 1:1-2
1 Paul and Timothy, bondservants of Jesus Christ, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with the bishops and deacons: 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Paul writes with Timothy to the believers in Philippi. The believers include the overseers (elders) and deacons, the leaders of the churches. Paul and Timothy also identified themselves as Christ’s slaves, showing they were sold out to Him above all else, and then committed to the gospel and the saints in Christ whom they served. This is why they began the letter by offering and praying for God’s grace and peace of the Father and Son on those in Philippi. The beginning of this letter shows the care in Christ, remarkable since it was written while in jail. Do we care and serve, do we minister with joy to others even in adversity? Here is our example.
