Philippians 1:12What has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel, 18 And because of this I rejoice.Philippians 1:21For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.As the body is nourished by food, so the soul is nourished by people.John OrtbergYou Need FriendsWhen God saves us, He saves us into His family.Proverbs 18:1Loners who care only for themselves spit on the common good.Philippians 1:27Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel Paul says, you gotta live this life side by side with other people.Friendships are central to living a life worthy of the gospel.Philippians 2:19I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I receive news about you. 20 I have no one else like him, who will show genuine concern for your welfare. 21 For everyone looks out for their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. 22 But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel. 23 I hope, therefore, to send him as soon as I see how things go with me. 24 And I am confident in the Lord that I myself will come soon. 25 But I think it is necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, co-worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger, whom you sent to take care of my needs. 26 For he longs for all of you and is distressed because you heard he was ill. 27 Indeed he was ill, and almost died. But God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow. 28 Therefore I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you may be glad and I may have less anxiety. 29 So then, welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor people like him, 30 because he almost died for the work of Christ. He risked his life to make up for the help you yourselves could not give me.#1 God Uses Friendships To Help Us Experience and Extend His GraceGrace is the unmerited, undeserved, unearned kindness and favor of God.Philippians 2:5In your lives you must think and act like Christ Jesus.The win for us in relationships, in friendships, is being an image of the grace of God to someone else.We are to image the unmerited, undeserved, unearned kindness and favor of God to the world.Philippians 2:20I have no one else like him, who will show genuine concern for your welfare.Genuine - gnēsiōs = SincerelyTo regard their interests with a sincere tenderness and concern.Philippians 2:26For he longs for all of you and is distressed because you heard he was ill.Timothy and Epaphroditus are living lives that image the life of Jesus well.Philippians 2:5In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant,To save us, Jesus served us.Matthew 23:11The greatest among you will be your servant.Philippians 2:25I think it is necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, co-worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger, whom you sent to take care of my needs.Very often, when we’re in need and asking God for a gift to help us, the gift God sends is in the form of a friend.Philippians 2:28Therefore I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you may be glad and I may have less anxiety.Philippians 2:29So then, welcome him in the Lord with great joy,Are you receiving the grace gifts of the friends God has placed around you?"As a rough rule of thumb, if you belong to no groups but you decide to join one, you cut your risk of dying over the next year in half."You Need FriendsGod is still accepting friend requests; how about you? Galatians 6:7You reap what you sow.If you want to have great friends, be a great friend.#2 God Uses Friendships To Spread The GospelPhilippians 2:22But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel.Philippians 2:25my brother, co-worker and fellow soldier,Gospel is = “The Kingdom is here now”The mission of the Gospel is to bring people into the Kingdom now.Friendships are central to living a life worthy of the gospel.Philippians 1:27Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ… striving side by side for the faith of the gospelPhilippians 2:30He almost died for the work of Christ. He risked his life to make up for the help you yourselves could not give me.``

Philippians 1:27Only, live your life in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that, whether I come and see you or am absent and hear about you, I will know that you are standing firm in one spirit, striving side by side with one mind for the faith of the gospel.Live your life in a manner worthy of the gospel.Mark 1:14-15…Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, and saying "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel."Acts 28:30-31He lived there two whole years at his own expense and welcomed all who came to him, proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance.Jesus' gospel is simply this: the kingdom of God has now, through Jesus, become available for ordinary human beings to live in. It's here. Now. You can live in it if you want to. God is present here and now. God is acting. You can revise your plans for living around this cosmic opportunity to daily experience God's favor and power.John Ortberg'Gospel' is the announcement that everything has changed in the coming of Jesus and it leads us to a new kind of living. It is a kingdom of God lifestyle with allegiance to a King as the ultimate restorer.N.T. WrightGod is becoming King, and he is doing it through Jesus! And therefore, phew! God's justice, God's peace, God's world is going to be renewed.N.T. WrightIn God’s kingdom, everything is exactly how God wants it to be.Genesis 1:27-28So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it…Through the cross, there is forgiveness of sin, restoration of God's image, and restoration of our heavenly vocation to fill and subdue the earth. The kingdom of God has become available to you through Jesus, so whatever happens, keep living your lives based on the reality of the greatest announcement of all time. Philippians 2:3-4Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves. Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interest of others.A life formed with the gospel in mind is a life dripping with humility. Humility: renouncing self-centered pursuits, actively regarding others in the best light possible, paying attention to the concerns and interests of others.To live a life in a manner worthy of the gospel, we need to be people whose hearts and minds are directed away from self and toward others in the practice of attentive, humble service.Philippians 2:5Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus. Philippians 2:6-11Who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.Blessed be his name, he stoops, and stoops, and stoops, and when he reaches our level and becomes man, he stoops, and stoops & stoops, lower and deeper yet.Spurgeon No one ever humbled himself more than Jesus. No one ever started so high, and no one ever descended so low. No one has ever given up as much as Jesus gave up.Philippians 2:5Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus.How to cultivate a humble heart:1 - Calculate One Another.Philippians 2:3Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.Count = To Calculate (+) Needs Of Others(-) Your Personal Interest= What Would Benefit Others2 - Concern Yourself With Small Things.Philippians 2:4Do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.Ministry of the Small Things (The Little Way) = Unrecognized Conquests Over Selfishness.3 - Cooperate with God.Philippians 2:12-13…work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who is at work in you, enabling you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.Sanctification is the lifelong process of pursuing holiness—the process of God's continuing work in his beloved. Sanctification is working out what God has worked in. Grace is opposed to EARNING. Grace is not opposed to EFFORT.Philippians 2:12-13…work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who is at work in you, enabling you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.Philippians 2:14-15Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the
