Philippians 2:19-30
But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state. For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state. For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's. But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel. Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me. But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.
Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants. For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick. For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful. Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation: Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
We often influence others in life. Often, we are also influenced by others, whether from television, parents or friends. Here is an important question: are they worthy examples? Are we? This week’s message titled, “Worthy Examples" by Ps. Heath Flanagan will help us understand more about what worthy examples are that we, as Christians, should emit from and absorb into our life. We will learn those together from two important characters in the bible: Timothy and Epaphroditus; A Son and A Soldier. May we all be rooted in Him and become worthy examples for people around us, our family and our children. Jesus loves you all! #onlineservice #sundayservice #philippians #characters #examples
