Philippians
Point 1 - It’s Not That Serious
Paul is begging two women that has worked side by side with him to AGREE!
Agree: To be of one mind / To adopt the same frame of mind.
Paul does’t even tell us the issue.
‘to be of one mind’ [Ea], ‘to adopt the same frame of mind
Paul’s does point out both women separately - “I Urge Euodia and I Urge Syntyche”
‘to be of one mind’
It takes two to come to agreement.
We are not talking about forgiveness but Agreement!
In life we have to learn to let things GO!
Paul begins to deal with two things every believer needs!
Point 2 - Instead of drama, we all need Joy and Peace
‘to adopt the same frame of mind
Philippians 4:
Rejoice: To be joyful / To have joy / To be glad / I wish you joy / All joy be yours / May you always be joyful
to be joyful / to have joy / to be glad / I wish you joy / all joy be yours / may you always be joyful
“In the Lord always” - The Lord is my reason for joy
One of the reasons why we loose our joy is because we lost the focus of our joy!
“Again I say, rejoice” - In spite of whatever you go through… You still need joy
Point 3 - The Process for Peace
The key to verse 5 & 6 is the phrase “The Lord is at hand”
to be joyful’ [NJB], ‘to have joy’ [Pl], ‘to be glad’ [BAGD, LN].
This repeated verb is translated ‘I wish you joy … all joy be yours’ [REB], ‘may you always be joyful
Jesus is coming soon
This has to be my view
Because I know he’s coming back, Paul tells them to:
“Let your reasonableness be known to everyone” -
“Let your reasonableness be known to everyone” -
Reasonableness: gentleness / consideration of others
TREAT everybody right!
Because I know he’s coming back, Paul tells them to:
“Do not be anxious about anything”
Anxious - Don't worry / dismiss all anxiety from your minds
Do worry about anything....
dismiss all anxiety from your minds
You don’t have time to stress!
