THE LORD’S PRAYER


ANTHEM “I Stand Amazed in the Presence”
SCRIPTURE & SERMON – Rev. Steve Patterson
Growing in Faith Together | How Giving Makes You Joyful | Philippians 4:10-20

I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were
indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. Not that I am speaking of being in need,
for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I
know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty
and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

Yet it was kind of you to share my trouble. And you Philippians yourselves know that in the
beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church entered into partnership with me in
giving and receiving, except you only. Even in Thessalonica you sent me help for my needs once
and again. Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that increases to your credit. I have
received full payment, and more. I am well supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts
you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. And my God will supply
every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father
be glory forever and ever. Amen.

Giving…
1) Revives our concern (v.10)
2) Teaches us contentment (v.11)
3) Makes us partners in ministry (v. 14)
4) pays spiritual dividends (v. 17-18)
5) Grows our faith in God (v. 19)
