Partners in the Gospel (XX)

Here’s my sermon outline for Sunday… my last message on Philippians, by the way:

Comal Country Church

Dr. Boyd Luter

Partnership in the Gospel (XI):

“Contentment and Confidence in the Lord’s Resources”

Philippians 4:10-23

 

Introduction-

 

 

Main Idea- Contentment before the Lord and confidence in the Lord’s resources are central in your spiritual maturing.

 

 

(4:10-14) Contentment in whatever financial circumstances you find yourself is basic to a grateful heart before God.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(4:15-20) Being aware God has the resources to meet your needs should make you more generous (and content).

 

 

 

 

 

 

(4:21-23) Christians everywhere, at every level of society, are “family” through the grace of the Lord Jesus.

 

 

 

 

 

Concluding Applicational Questions:

-         What will it take for you to learn contentment and confidence in regard to your own circumstances?

 

-         What will it take for you to learn confidence and contentment in regard to giving (and receiving)?

 

-         How foundational is the Lord’s grace to you in living your daily Christian life?

 

Coming Thursday: My furthers thoughts on the concluding sections of Philippians
