Series: Humility

February 12, 2023 | Chad Gilbert
Passage: Philippians 4:10-23

 

The Gospel makes us fellow-workers (vv.10, 14, 15-16) 

  • Not  
    • Missions and ministry panhandlers (v.11a, 17a) 
    • Benevolent dictators  
  • Notice 
    • Sometimes that partnership needs renewal (v.10) 
    • Our gifts are to God (v.18) 

The Gospel defines our worldview (vv.11-13) 

  • Not  
    • Stoicism – self-sufficiency, unmoved emotionally by external forces 
    • Epicureanism – maximum pleasure, minimum pain 
  • Notice 
    • His strength comes from Christ (v.13) 
    • Strength of contentment in little 
    • Strength of contentment in a lot 

The Gospel fuels our worship (vv.19-20) 

  • Not 
    • An Epicurean promise 
    • An Insurance policy 
  • Notice 
    • It is a promise, one we desperately need  
    • Rightly understood, results in worship
