Philippians 1:1-6
Stand Alone Sermon

DEEP SHEET: Sermon Study Questions
1.   How does Paul express his gratitude for the Philippians in v.3-4? What does it look like for us to maintain a similar posture?
2.   What is the significance of Paul and the Philippians' "partnership in the gospel"? What does this tell us about the nature of our relationships within the church?
3.   What is the biblical concept of fellowship and how is that different from how the word is normally used in our day?
4.   In verse 6, how does Paul show that salvation is past, present, and future? How are each of these "tenses" of salvation encouraging to us? 
5.   As God is "bringing your salvation to completion" are there some aspects of your faith that feel more "complete" than others? In other words, in what ways has the Lord grown you since your "first day in the gospel" and in what ways are you still clearly "incomplete"?
