What a Fellowship!

Philippians 1:1-2

Sermon Series: Philippians: Partnership in the Gospel

Theme: The relational elements of a healthy church

Point: True Christianity binds believers to Christ and to one another.

Outline:

  1. A healthy church is marked by servant leadership (Phl 1:1a).
    Paul teaches a lesson about servant leadership through…
    1. The omission he makes: He does not identify himself as an "Apostle".
    2. The association he shares: "and Timothy".
    3. The designation he embraces: "servants of Christ Jesus".
  2. A healthy church is marked by a consecrated membership (Phl 1:1b-c).
    What it means to be a saint is seen in…
    1. Our relationship to Jesus Christ: "saints in Christ Jesus".
    2. Our relationship to the world around us: "at Philippi".
    3. Our relationship to godly leadership: "with the overseers and deacons".
      1. Overseers serve by leading.
      2. Deacons lead by serving.
  3. A healthy church is marked by true fellowship (Phl 1:2).
    1. The basis of true fellowship: "grace".
    2. The result of true fellowship: "peace".
    3. The source of true fellowship: "from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ".
