Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon: The Fellowship of the Gospel and the Supremacy of Christ (Preaching the Word)
Paul’s epistles to the churches of Philippi and Colossae, and to Philemon stand together as some of the most profound illustrations of the unifying power of the gospel in all of Scripture. Highlighting the reconciliation that Christians enjoy in and through Jesus, Paul’s lofty words and impassioned exhortations spur us to embrace one another as brothers and sisters in Christ.
These books also cover important topics such as:
- Joy for the Christian life
- The priority of the gospel
- Finding true contentment in Christ
- Safeguards against seduction
- The source of fullness for the Christian family
In this study of Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon, renowned pastor R. Kent Hughes amplifies and explains the apostle Paul’s message with memorable illustrations and penetrating insights into the biblical text. His careful exegesis and perceptive applications will encourage fresh understanding and promote lasting growth as readers are systematically led through God’s Word.

Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
Im delighted to endorse the philosophy behind this series. Here sounds out the voice not of the scholar in the study but of the scholar in the pulpit. The authors are all able teachers who regularly expound Gods living Word to his people. May this rich material give us patterns of preaching that will not only feed the flock, but, by Gods grace, change the church.
R. C. Lucas
Retired Rector, St. Helen's Church, Bishopsgate, London, England
For this outstanding series of expository commentaries, Kent Hughes has assembled a team of unusually gifted scholar-preachers. The series will be widely used and much sought after.
Eric J. Alexander
Retired Senior Minister, St. George's-Tron Parish Church, Glasgow, Scotland
It is a pleasure to commend this series of homiletical commentaries. They fill an enormous vacuum that exists between the practical needs of the pastor/teacher and the critical exegetical depth of most commentaries.
Walter C. Kaiser Jr.
President Emeritus and Distinguished Professor of Old Testament and Ethics, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary
Throughout the Christian centuries, working pastors have been proving themselves to be the best of all Bible expositors. Kent Hughes stands in this great tradition, and his exciting expositions uphold it worthily.
J. I. Packer
Board of Governors' Professor of Theology, Regent College
There is a long history of informed, edifying biblical expositions that have been mightily used of God to shape and strengthen the church. These volumes admirably fit this tradition.
D. A. Carson

"The single best resource for faithful biblical exposition available today. A great boon for genuine reformation!"
Timothy George
Dean, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University
This series resonates with the priorities of the pulpit. No academic aloofness here, but down-to-earth, preacher-to-preacher meat for Gods people.
