Philippians The Philippians were Paul's first converts in Macedonia. They had exhibited love and care for Paul by providing for his needs on several occasions. They had recently sent one of their own men to Rome with a gift for Paul, who was under house arrest. When he arrived in Rome, he told Paul about a growing problem in the Philippian church. Two women were not getting along. These ladies had served side by side with Paul. Their division was causing ripples throughout the church. So Paul wrote the Philippians encouraging them to rejoice in the Lord. He wrote to them about their frame of mind, their attitude in Christ toward one another. Paul gave them four examples of the proper attitude in service. He explained his personal approach to service and the Christian life. Finally he encouraged the rest of the assembly on how to maintain peace and joy, while they encourage the women in a proper attitude toward each other. Paul assured them that God could meet this need in Christ. PLEASE NOTE: When you are listening to these audio files, keep in mind that you might hear the sound of children or of people asking questions during the teaching. The atmosphere at First Baptist Church is one which encourages families to be together (hence the sounds of children in recordings), and Tim also encourages people to ask questions if something is unclear to them. You will not find a strict, formal, religious ceremony atmosphere in these Bible teachings. Also note that due to technical difficulties, some earlier recordings might be more difficult to hear. We apologize for this; however, newer recordings should have much better sound quality.
OPTION #1 - DOWNLOAD AUDIO: If you have a slower dial up internet connection, then you might want to consider downloading the audio file to your computer first before listening to it. Be aware that downloading an audio file of a Bible Study might take 20 minutes or more if you have a slower internet connection. If you want to download the audio recording onto your computer to listen to later, then follow the following instructions: Put the onscreen mouse pointer over the "Download Audio" link, click your right mouse button, click on "Save Target As", and then proceed to save the audio file to your computer.
OPTION # 2 - LISTEN ONLINE: You can also listening to streaming audio (without having to download the whole file first) by using this option. This will allow you to start listening to the audio file right away. Once you click on the "Listen Online" link, allow your computer a minute or so to initialize the media player and begin playing the streaming audio. If this option does not work well (because the audio starts and stops frequently), then most likely that means that your internet connection is not fast enough to keep up with the streaming audio. In that case, you will probably need to consider Option #1, and first download the file completely to your computer before listening.
If you try to listen using Options #1 & #2 and neither one works, then you might need to download a media player capable of playing MP3 audio files. It is recommended that you first try to play the audio files, since many computers will already have some sort of media player installed. If for some reason your computer does not already have a media player, then see the notes below for installing one. In addition, in order to view outlines and notes, you will need to have Adobe Reader on your computer. Many computers will already have this loaded. Just click on the link to view notes or outlines and wait for a few minutes while they load (might take longer than a few minutes for a dial up internet users). If you need to download the Adobe Reader software to your computer, then see the link below.
