Seeking God’s Pleasure – A Study of Philippians “Partners in the Gospel” Philippians 1:3-8 Mateen Elass

Seeking God’s Pleasure – A Study of Philippians
“Partners in the Gospel”
Philippians 1:3-8
The hub of this passage is Paul’s perception of the Philippians as active partners in advancing the gospel in their community and beyond. His thanksgiving to God, his expression of joy, his confidence of their future, and his heart of love for them all stem from the knowledge that they share his passion, which of course is also God’s passion. How do our lives measure up against this standard of partnership in the gospel? Where is our focus as a church, and as individual believers?
