bible study resources?
somehow I've ended up leading our guy's Bible study on Philippians. not being gifted with natural leadership skills (at least not the "normal" ones), it is only by God's purpose and grace that I'm doing this.
so I recently started digging in a bit. we're using Ferguson's Let's Study Philippians as a general guide, and it's quite helpful. I was wondering if anyone knows of good Bible study resources online? here's what I've found so far, especially stuff for Philippians.
Bible Gateway (as well as other online Bibles of course) - good for looking up and comparing various passages in various versions.
Calvin's commentaries
Blue Letter Bible - lots of commentaries here, but I dont know who some of these folks are.
Piper's sermons
Spurgeon's sermons
Henry's Commentary
This is certainly a lot to work with, and very nice that I dont need to buy all the books. Any other Reformed-type resources out there?

Well bob, the Phillipeans are a pretty crucial part in the Asian theater of the 20th century. The United States invested tons of dollars into the protection and colonization of the Phillipeans only to have it ransacked by the Japanese in WW2. Manilla was especially key to its survival even today...
oh wait you're talking about Philippians... well they're crucial too.
intervarsity always had books for individual books of the Bible i dunno if they have them online.
Hey, try http://www.ransomfellowship.org/Bible.html
it has a couple of steps with coressponding articles. You can glean what you need and skip some of the others. It's good insight and encouragement, without being so cut and dry that it leaves the discernment and thinking out.
For preparation, I don't know if I could life without e-sword (www.e-sword.net). It has tons of translations, classic commentaries and books (WCF, Spurgeon, Calvin, Luther, Henry, etc...) *FOR FREE*
Anyhow, I really like the software and think it would help your preparations.
