Hello Partners in the Gospel,

I hope and pray that God is using our time in Philippians together to grow us in love of God and love of others. 

Sorry for the delay in sending out questions for you to think through this week.

We decided to focus the sermon on Philippians 1:3-5 this past Sunday. If you were unable to be there I would really encourage you to listen to the sermon as we talked about what it looks like to have Joyful Partnership.

Here's the information for this coming week--

Text to be preached: Philippians 1:6-11

Study and Reflection Questions:

• What does Philippians 1:6 mean? Is it encouraging to you? If yes, how so? Compare Philippians 1:6 and 2:12-13.
• What does Paul mean when he says he is praying that the Philippians' love would abound more and more?
• How and why are love and knowledge connected?
• Have you ever prayed for discernment? Why or why not?
• What is the significance of mentioning the day of Christ twice (v. 6 and 10)?
• Who can you encourage this week with something you learned from this text?

Enjoy time in God's word this week! Love you family!

.grace and peace.
Justin
