It is the unifying idea. Themes elevate a simple sequence of events into a true work of literature or art. You might say that themes are the beating heart of all meaningful narrative.&nbsp;</p><p>They give stories depth and resonance. They give sermons coherence and power. And they give lives direction and meaning.&nbsp;</p><p>Join with me today as we study what I believe to be the central theme of Philippians... and of Paul's life.</p><p><br></p><p>~~~~</p><p>I'd love to hear from you!
