Title: Philippians 1:1-11
Contents
Luke 17: Even in the midst of the roar in the crowd, there is a voice that shakes and stops the heart of God who He hears. Jesus going to Jericho The crowd following Jesus, and in the midst of their voices, we hear a small voice of faith.
He is none other than the voice of a beggar blind Because of the murmuring of people... God hears the sounds that people cannot hear. I hope that all of our members today will become the protagonists of that voice.
Today's text is the introductory part of Paul's letter to the Philippian church in prison. Although he has no conditions to be thankful for, he delivers the good news to the Philippian church. Wouldn't you like us to receive such a letter of joy too?
But what? If you think about it well. .It doesn't seem like a good thing to receive letters of joy. Reason?
that is...
Is it not that the Philippian church, which is called the church of God, lacks joy? Does a person in God lack the joy God has given him? Would that be disbelief? Or maybe it's proof that you're wrong? But Paul, who is in prison today, is preaching the good news to the Philippian church outside the prison. Paul who has no conditions to be thankful for.. The Philippian church has many conditions to be thankful for.. But... Paul is the one who delivers the good news. Paul in prison...
What could have made this happen?
It is in the text of today's utterance.
A servant of God writes a letter to a man in God in God?
And that's a blessing.
May God's grace and peace be with you...
In the end, the most heartbreaking thing about the Philippian church is the lack of God's grace. Naturally, the heart that God gives is lacking in a heart of peace.
But Paul, who is in prison, has God's grace and a heart of peace. He is full of thanks.
What made it so different?
Does the Philippian church do not have the grace and peace that God has given me?
Doesn't seem like it.
So Paul is talking about his experience today.
I am telling you what makes me happy. First of all, it is the reason why there is a heart of God's grace and peace...
Why is it possible...
Because I was able to find the conditions of gratitude.
Gratitude is not to be thankful for the condition of gratitude, but to know how to be grateful when there is not.
terms of appreciation?
It's because we've been dating since the first day. From the first meeting until now
Philippi, the first castle in Europe. It must have been a lot of attachment. But, the joy of Henna-nim is not enough.. How painful was Paul?
Paul felt the heart of God in his heart for the Philippian church.
I thought and thought.. I took the heart of Jesus.
While in prison, Paul was thinking of the Philippian church. I have come to know the heart of God.
If you think and think again and again, your dreams become reality. You can see that dreams and reality become one. This is the case of Solomon who offered a thousand burnt offerings in the high place of Gibeon.
But Paul had that experience.
When I think of the church... I have the heart of Jesus.
Sometimes, God gives us suffering is the way to experience this.
conclusion...
Audit should not be governed by the environment.
Being governed by the environment is not true appreciation.
Even in the prison where we are confined, we do not forget our gratitude.
finally...
The conditions of thanks abounded.
You have eyes to find the conditions of gratitude.
More than anything. You become a valuable person who can set conditions of gratitude to others as well.
I have matured for love.
I have discernment.
became true.
The fruit was plentiful.
