"Preach The Word"





People Working With People

Text: Philippians 2:17-30

Introduction:

This section deals with the interaction of people in the ministry. God works through people, but in His glorious providence. He is not limited to working through just one person but many.

For Paul to effectively minister, his heart had to be right towards the ministry. Consider these three things:

I.   Notice, Paul's heart for the beloved

II  .Paul's hope for the beloved

III. Paul's help for the beloved

I. PAUL'S HEART FOR THE BELOVED vv. 17-23a

    A. His was a sacrificial heart. v. 17

        1. Genesis 35:14 describes this offering: Jacob set up a pillar at Bethel "            and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon."

        2. Leviticus and Numbers tells us that it was added to the burnt               offering and the meal offering. (Never added to a sin or trespass               offering.)

        3. It is associated with service.

    B. His was a sincere heart. v. 18

    C. His was a servant's heart. v. 19-22

    D. His was a sharing heart. v. 23a

II. PAUL'S HOPE FOR THE BELOVED vv. 23-24

    A. Paul hope to send companions. v. 23 "soon"

    B. Paul hope to shortly come. v. 24 "shortly"

III. PAUL'S HELP FOR THE BELOVED vv. 28-30

    A. It was a caring help. v. 28 "carefully"

    B. It was a Christian help. "receive him therefore in the Lord"
