PHILIPPIANS S.O.A.P. ~ CHAPTER 1

Friday, 2/21/25

SCRIPTURE:

I thank my God every time I mention you in my prayers.  I’m thankful for all of you every time I pray, and it’s always a prayer full of joy. ~ Philippians 1:3-4

OBSERVATION:

Kind of funny how this spoke to me in reverse order...

"...a prayer full of joy..."

"...every time I pray..."

"...I'm thankful..."

"...for all of you..."

"...every time I mention you in my prayers..."

"...I thank my God..."

Doesn't change the meaning (does it?)

APPLICATION:

Pray

...joyfully

...thankfully...

...every time..

PRAYER: Verses 9-11 - "personalized"

Loving Father God; May my love become even more and more rich with knowledge and all kinds of insight.  May I be able to decide what really matters and so that I will be sincere and blameless on the day of Christ.  May I be filled with the fruit of righteousness, which comes from Jesus Christ, in order to give You glory and praise. In Name of Jesus... 

May the grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. (v 2)

Daily Prayer for the Lord's Day, September 1, 2024: Philippians 1:12-14

Prayer: We praise your name, our most merciful and faithful Father, because it pleased you to crush your only beloved Son for our sake.

18th Psalm 91:14 - 16

1 Peter 4:12 - 19 Hard Sell Trials and Persecution 1 Peter 1:1, 2

If you don't suffer grief, then you have died before those who love and care for you.

If you don't factor suffering into your world view you are ill prepared to live in this world. Christians will suffer and your shouldn't be surprised when it happens. Any teachings to the contrary are false.

vs 13

Philippians 1:29

The people who are persecuting you see something of Jesus in you. vs 14

Matthew 5:3 - 12

We recieve the ministry of the Holy Spirit when we are suffering.

vs 15 - 18

vs 19 Commit to God.

If you don't factor in eternity you are ill prepared for suffering.

The Life of Faith Is Not a Solo Sport

27 Only 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, 28 and not frightened in anything by your opponents. This is a clear sign to them of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God. 29 For it…

The Priorities of the Gospel and Unity

Philippians 1.12-30 Two priorities for Paul are clear: proclaiming the gospel and unity of the body. The first might be done out of mixed motives, but the second requires oneness of spirit and mind…an attitude of togetherness. As individuals, sharing the gospel…telling our story, investing our mina…should be a motivating, a driving factor in our lives. We weren’t saved to go to heaven…we were…

Philippians 1:6 (NKJV) - being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;

[andallshallbewell]

[jesus-is-lord-and-savior]

I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,

(Philippians 1:3, ESV)

[walkswithmyfather]

“I am going to prepare a place for you!” (John MacDuff, "The Words of Jesus")

"I am going to prepare a place for you! When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with Me where I am." John 14:2-3

What a wondrous thought!

Jesus is now busied in Heaven in His people's behalf! He can find no abode in all His wide dominions, befitting as a permanent dwelling for His ransomed ones.

He says, "I will make a new heavens and a new earth. I will found a special kingdom. I will rear eternal mansions expressly for those I have redeemed with my blood!"

Orphaned pilgrims, dry your tears! Soon the sighs of a groaning and burdened creation will be heard no more. Soon He will come again, to receive those who followed Him in His cross, to be everlasting partakers with Him in His crown!”

“For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain!” Philippians 1:21

“I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far!” Philippians 1:23

vs 15 Do good in God's behalf.

Who grind's on you? Do good to them. Show them God's light.

Galatians 2:20.

God's calling to you is to suffer. You will have troubles in this world.

Acts 14:22 1 Thessalonians 3:3 Philippians 1:29

Not mindless pain. It is suffering for the sake of Christ.

Psalm 23 The rod and staff comforting is what we should be focused on, not the valley of the shadow of death.

vs 20

It is for His Name's sake.

By nature we are self centred, but by focusing on God we can stand the world's waves.

God's example to you is Jesus.

The suffering servant. Matthew 16:13 -20

He committed no sin. He was authentic, forgiving, even on the Cross. He entrusted himself to Him who judges justly.

Together As One (Philippians 1:1-11)

We are meant to be a common community, sharing life together, working on supporting one another and reaching out to others.

Philippians 2:1-2 (NKJV) - Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
