Paul’s obedience led to the birth of the Church of Philippi. In Paul’s letter to the Philippians, we see that Paul takes this time to tell the Church of Philippi how much he loves them. Paul was the bright spot for the church and the church was the bright spot for Paul. Because of this joy, Paul thanked the church, remembered the church, and prayed for the church. The Church of Philippi was never in Paul’s plans but we see this church birthed out of Paul’s obedience. Because of this, we need to be reminded to die to our plans and trust Him. As Christians, we all have a part in the ministry and mission of the Church. God didn’t save you so you can attend church; He saved you to be a partner in the ministry of the Church. If you will make yourself available, He will reveal to you your responsibility. What is your part? Listen to this sermon about making yourself available in the first part of our In The Word series walking through Philippians.
