Title Philippians 4:1-9
Contents
Shall we say hello? I am a beloved child of God.
Shall we say hello again?
I am a beloved child of God.
It seems that you have made a long journey in the book of Philippians.
Now, next week or so... It seems that the long journey of all the long journeys will come to an end.
First...Paul...
Even though he is in prison, he is full of joy..
And... looking out for the Philippian church, which lacked joy...
I wanted to show you the joy in the Lord.
But...
Today, we are showing the crystallization of that joy.
In order to understand it today, I want you to look back at the contents of John 10: to help you understand.
What is the greatest glory of trees?
Fruit.
Even if the vine and the branches are not good...
Because there are grapes... the branch is blessed.
Hallelujah!!
1 Therefore, therefore, my beloved and longed-for brethren, my joy and crown, beloved, stand thus in the Lord.
The greatest joy in Paul... he rejoiced in Jesus.
Above all, I was happy to see myself in Jesus.
Well.
today..
The text is...
Another joy.
that is..
These are the members of the Philippian church.
Hallelujah..
The real joy is...
Of course, as Paul realized... Lord. And me in it...
But... you have to know that it is a group of saints. I'll do it.
Among the crowds of saints... we can look at...
2 I urge Euodia, and I urge Syntyche, to be of the same mind in the Lord.
3 Also, I beg you, one who is truly a yoke mate with me, to help those women who worked hard with me in the gospel.
Also help Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.
Because they are an eternal family. Those who are written in the book of life who will enter the kingdom of heaven.
Hallelujah...
they..
They are people of the same mind.
They are people who have shared in suffering together.
Paul's Joy...
There is one of the most precious teachings we find in Paul's joy.
4 Rejoice in the Lord always, I say again, rejoice
5 Let your generosity be known to all, for the Lord is near.
It is... that is, a life that prepares for the Lord.
It means living an apocalyptic life.
Living an apocalyptic life is not just about preparing for death.
Death is already approaching us.
Shouldn't we be preparing for that death?
While preparing the coffin... it wouldn't be like that.
He who prepares the Lord...
When we rejoice in the present reality with joy and build a community...
Only then will you naturally become a person who trusts the Lord.
Hallelujah..
character! Then I have a question.
Where did Paul find the driving force to rejoice?
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
7 Then the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
We must learn to control our minds.
No matter how many conditions you have to have joy in yourself...
visible situation. If the environment is not good. .Joy can be rather... poisonous.
In addition..
Being comforted by being different from others. .You can lead an isolated life on your own.
However.
If we keep our hearts...
Like Jesus, you can go on your own path silently.
That's what Paul...
I learned from the habit of praying in Jesus.
Right away..
He said thanks to God.. That time of prayer made him.
Prayer is...
There may be times of mourning, but prayer is thanksgiving.
It is such a precious time to confess what God has given us.
Hallelujah..
We pray too. I want to be able to protect my own heart.
This is heaven.
this.
It is a life with God.
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are godly, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are commendable, if there be any virtue, if there is any praise, think of these things.
9 Do what you have learned from me, received, heard and seen, and the God of peace will be with you.
The important thing is to do what you see.
It is doing what you learn.
then..
Our role is no different.
I don't even have to try and make something again.
but..
given path...
It is to follow the exemplary forefathers who walked before me.
Hallelujah...
