Sermon in a sentence- The Gospel gives us bright hope in the darkest places.

Freedom Through Imprisonment (vs. 12-14)

Paul was not a prisoner of Caesar, he was a slave of Christ.
His imprisonment brought freedom to the Roman guards. (4:22)
It also brought freedom from fear.

Salvation Through Proclamation (vs. 15-18)

Preaching must be Christ-centered.
Preaching must be done without selfish motives.

Life Through Death (vs. 19-21)

God is saving you and me. (Job 13:16 , Philippians 1:6, 1 Corinthians 1:18)

Paul’s joy is bound up with the salvation of his soul, not the outcome of his trial. He is not rejoicing in the possibility of getting out of jail; he is rejoicing in the certainty of his salvation in Christ. Paul’s confidence that God will complete the good work of salvation begun in the Philippians (Phil. 1:6) is true concerning his own salvation as well. Paul’s assurance of salvation will be made secure with the help of the prayers of the Philippians and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

We can be assured that death is for our gain. (v. 23)
