    "Partners In The Gospel" | Fruitful Labor

    SCRIPTURE: Philippians 1:18-26  SHOW NOTES: We invite you to subscribe to our ministry website – Discover God's Truth – where you will find resources to encourage you in your Walk with God.  Paul wrote the book of Philippians while he was sitting in a Roman prison waiting for his trial before Caesar. We do not have many details about Paul’s imprisonment, but he was facing an incredible ordeal. However, Paul’s perspective as he awaits his trial and the outcome is a powerful example.  Paul wasn’t concerned about others' motives (their jealousy, desire for power, or position). The most important priority for Paul’s life and ministry was sharing the message of Jesus Christ and the free gift of salvation. Paul’s response, “I rejoice. And I will continue to rejoice!”  "For I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, this will turn out for my deliverance, as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death." Philippians 1:19-20 Paul reminds us that our prayers are important and necessary. Believers united in prayer for each other. Perhaps you have a prayer journal where you keep requests for other people. When the Lord reminds you of someone’s prayer need, stop and pray for them by name.  "If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose, I cannot tell. I am hard-pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account." Philippians 1:22-24 Paul believed the Lord still had ministry and work for him to complete here on the earth. This would be fruitful labor for Paul. Therefore, he is “convinced” that he would remain and continue the ministry. Paul has a servant’s heart and desires people to know the Lord and live for God’s glory!  SONG: "To Live Is Christ" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXL0dTzK5mc

    "Partners In The Gospel" | I Am Confident

    SCRIPTURE: Philippians 1:6-11 SHOW NOTES: We invite you to subscribe to our ministry website – Discover God's Truth – where you will find resources to encourage you in your Walk with God. "For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus." Philippians 1:6 (NASB1995) It is the Lord who does the spiritual work in every believer. A number of theological terms describe the relationship we have with God from the moment we receive Jesus until we come into His presence. Justification – We are declared righteous because of Christ’s sacrificial death on the cross. By faith in Christ, our sin is forgiven. Sanctification – Daily, we are being conformed to the likeness of Christ, growing in Him & displaying the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Glorification – The believer’s full realization and perfection of salvation. "For this … mortal must put on immortality. But when ... this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, “Death is swallowed up in victory.” 1 Corinthians 15:53-54 (NASB1995) Warren Wiersbe shares this insight. “Paul uses three thoughts in Philippians 1:1-11 that describe true Christian fellowship. I have you in my mind (1:3-6) I have you in my heart (1:7-8) I have you in my prayers (1:9-11) "And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God." Philippians 1:9-11 (ESV) SONG: "In Christ Alone" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_063OI38RQ

    "Partners In The Gospel" | God's Grace and Peace

    Walk with God | October 2, 2024  Season 18: Partners in the Gospel SCRIPTURE: Philippians 1:1-5 SHOW NOTES: We invite you to subscribe to our ministry website – Discover God's Truth – where you will find resources to encourage you in your Walk with God.  The book of Philippians is Paul’s thank-you letter to the church at Philippi. He has great affection for the people who have partnered with him in the Lord’s ministry, and this is another opportunity for Paul to encourage the believers. He greets them with these words, “May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.” (Philippians 1:2) A small city, Philippi was a Roman colony. Paul and his mission team were specifically called from Asia Minor (current day Turkey) to Macedonia. They immediately departed and, a few days later, arrived in Philippi. A vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing there, urging him and saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” And when Paul had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go on into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them … setting sail from Troas, we made a direct voyage to Samothrace, and the following day to Neapolis, and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of Macedonia and a Roman colony. We remained in this city for some days. (Acts 16:9-12)  Paul met Lydia, the seller of purple, and a group of women praying by the river. After hearing the Gospel message, she and her house believed and were baptized. Following a conflict in the marketplace, Paul and Silas were beaten and thrown into prison. God sent an earthquake that night, and the doors were opened, and their chains unfastened. Everyone in the prison that night saw God’s mighty power.  You have been my partners in spreading the Gospel from the day you first heard it until now. Philippians 1:5 SONG: "God of Every Grace" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5SARNm0M8A&list=RDZ5SARNm0M8A&start_radio=1
