Philippians 1:3-11

INTRODUCTION:

A. As Paul wrote Philippians he was imprisoned in chains in Rome (1:13)

1. He could have spent his time in self-pity and complaint – but he didn’t

2. Instead, he spent his time encouraging others: “Rejoice in the Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice” (Phil. 4:4)

1. Failing health or a serious medical problem

2. An unhappy marriage or children who break our hearts

INTRODUCTION:

A. John 4:35

INTRODUCTION:

A. The crucifixion of our Lord took place at a location known as “The Place of the Skull”- Greek, Hebrew, Latin

B. Crucifixion was probably the most horrible form of capital punishment ever devised by man. It appears to have originated with the Persians (c. 522 B.C.).

SUBJECT: Giving as Worship

TITLE: Worship – Part 6 – Giving as Worship

PROPOSITION: To set forth four principles for giving that will help us understand better our giving in worship to God and will help us to understand how to give. These principles are: 1) The Principle of Grace–God gives to His creation; 2) The Principle of Gratitude–We should give from a thankful heart; 3) The Principle of Generosity–We must first give of ourselves; 4) The Principle of Egression–If we fail to give, we will lose what we already have.

OBJECTIVE: Each hearer should be able to state these basic principles of giving and how they relate to their life and worship.

AIM: I hope to encourage the brethren to examine their own giving and see if they can enhance their worship of God by giving Him more from their life.

A. We are keenly aware of the reality of death

1. I am sure that we have had friends and loved ones who have ceased to have life in the body.

2. Hebrews 9:27

B. The body is said to be “mortal” (Rom. 8:11)
