There doesn't seem to be one theme - rather, there seems to be several. The most prominent theme seems to be that of 'joy,' specifically the joy of serving Jesus. Another theme appears to be that of a 'partnership in the gospel.' By the Phillipians helping Paul's own ministry, they had become partners with Paul to further the Good News of the coming Kingdom of God, Jesus brought to mankind.

Paul taught them that all were equal in the body of Christ - all were sinners saved by God's grace. The Phillipians were to humble themselves as Jesus had done and be unified in the love of Christ.

In a world segregated along class and ethnic lines, the Church at Phillipi broke the rules. This Church became one of the most integrated places in the Mediterranean world.
