“The JOY of sharing Christ”
Speaker: Tim Perkins

KEY PASSAGE/PRAYER

(Philippians 1:12-14 NIV) Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel. As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ. Because of my chains, most of the brothers in the Lord have been encouraged to speak the word of God more courageously and fearlessly.

1. We can know God will bring through our .Philippians 1:12 NIV | Acts 28:16 ESV | Acts 28:20 NIV |Acts 28:23 NIV | Philippians 1:4b NIV | Philippians 1:18b NIV | Philippians 3:1 NIV | Philippians 3:1 NIV | Philippians 4:4 NIV

(Romans 8:28 NASB) And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

Advance: “Progress in spite of blows”

2. We can know people will see or meet Christ

our crisis. Philippians 1:13 NIV | Philippians 4:22 NIV

3. We can know our example will encourage others’ . Philippians 1:14 NIV

(Philippians :15-18 NIV) It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.
