Timothy: Selfless Servant of Jesus Chirst - Daniel Holmquist - Philippians 2:19-24

2010-01-31 by

In the letter to the Philippians, we now encounter two Christ-like models of selflessness: Timothy and Epaphroditus. The church knew both of these men. These passages are much more than an inserted travelogue, however. Today’s passage shows the Apostle’s very presence and authority through his emissary, Timothy. We honor the Lord and His working by emulating Timothy’s motivation and character. The Apostle Paul had two main reasons for sending Timothy to Philippi: he was a servant of Christ’s interests for the church, and he was proven valuable through many ministry trials.

Unity for the Sake of the Gospel - Daniel Holmquist - Philippians 2:1-4

2010-01-03 by

The Apostle Paul wants to keep their partnership strong and always moving forward; and he knows that the biggest factor is the strength of the unity of the Philippian church itself. Unity needs to be strong and alignment needs to be tight. When a church is strongly unified it is able to be most effective in its Gospel partnerships. Gospel partnerships depend upon the spiritual, missional, and relational health of each church. And so, here are three reminders about this: we have all experienced the same Gospel, we must stay united in commitment to the same goal, and we can build up our unity by living in humility.
