Philippians 1:27-2:5

“Live in a worthy manner”

1. (V27) Above all, you must conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the Good News

a) Above all, you must conduct yourself in a worthy

Ephesians 4:1 “Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God.”

One way we can live worthy is by loving one another

Jesus says, “You will be known by your love”

Love God with everything and love your neighbor as yourself

1.1 Standing Together

In One spirit

One purpose

Fighting together (Not against one another)

I sense there a many divisions in this room and that should not be the case. We are supposed to be fighting for the same cause, but at times we seem to be to busy fighting against each other.

What happens when a country fights against each other?

2. (V29) Given the privilege of trusting in Christ and suffering for His name sake

When I first became a Christian I thought I would never have any problems

When you are truly walking with Christ you will suffer

1 Peter 5:8 “Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.”
