Sermon 14 in Series

Philippians 4:10-23

[10] I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. [11] Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. [12] I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. [13] I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

[14] Yet it was kind of you to share my trouble. [15] And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church entered into partnership with me in giving and receiving, except you only. [16] Even in Thessalonica you sent me help for my needs once and again. [17] Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that increases to your credit. [18] I have received full payment, and more. I am well supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. [19] And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. [20] To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.

[21] Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you. [22] All the saints greet you, especially those of Caesar’s household.

[23] The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

DEEP SHEET: Sermon Study Questions

1.   What major themes will stick with you the most as we leave Philippians? Citizenship, partnership, humility, steadfastness, joy, identity?
2.   What does it mean to be content? In what areas do you battle discontentment? How are our circumstances mean to teach us contentment?
3.   As Burroughs writes, do you ever wrongly think you’ll be able to “touch the clouds on the next higher hill?” How does “performing the work of your circumstances” serve as a corrective to this way of thinking?
4.   Why do Paul and the Philippians enjoy such a special bond? What is the history behind their relationship?
5.   What does it mean that all your work for the Lord will come before God’s nostrils? How does this bring significance to everything you do?
6.   How does the final greeting contain hope that the gospel is advancing?References: Phil. 1:27; Romans 8:32; 2 Corinthains 11:24-28; 2 Corinthians 8:2-3; Matthew 6:19-21; Ephesians 5:2; Jeremiah Burroughs, The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment
