Facing Friendly Fire

Philippians 1:15-18

Sermon Series: Philippians: Partnership in the Gospel

Theme: A Christ-centered response to interpersonal conflict

Point: There is joy in Christ that transcends how other people treat you.

Outline:

  1. The humanity of the church's members (Phl 1:15).
    1. The problem of sin in the church: "Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry" (v. 15a).
    2. The power of sanctification in the church: "but others from good will" (v. 15b).
  2. The motivation of the church's ministers (Phl 1:16-17).
    1. God uses people whose motives are right: "The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel" (v. 16).
    2. God uses people whose motives are wrong: "The former proclaim Christ out of rivalry, not sincerely but thinking to afflict me in my imprisonment" (v. 17).
  3. The priority of the church's message (Phl 1:18).
    1. How should I respond when I am mistreated? "What then?" (v. 18a).
    2. How should I respond when Christ is magnified "Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice" (v. 18b).
