Risking It All for the Gospel — Timothy, Epaphroditus & Us

Listen Later

This episode is an expository sermon on Philippians 2:19–30, unpacking Paul’s commendation of Timothy and Epaphroditus as realistic models of gospel-centered service. 

Featured figures and examples include Timothy and Epaphroditus from Scripture, plus modern parallels such as Corrie ten Boom, a long-term missionary couple who left comfort to fight trafficking, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer. The message highlights themes of sacrificial service, suffering for the gospel, mutual care in the church, and the joy that flows from giving one’s life away for others.

Key takeaways:

  • be genuinely concerned for others’ welfare,
  • put Christ and others before personal interest,
  • minister practically in your local church and the world, and
  • embrace selfless living as the pathway to true joy and gospel impact.
