Thesis: Paul brings letter to Philippians full circle in reminding us that partnering in the Gospel is always about the same thing - it is all about Jesus Christ.
1. GOSPEL PARTNERING IS NOT A GIVEN (v.14-16) * Requires commitment of time, resources * God must be 1st priority * easier to consume than to engage
2. GOSPEL PARTNERING BRINGS GOD-PLEASING FRUIT (v. 17-20) * When you partner, God produces fruit of righteousness * Long to hear, "Well done good and faithful servant" * Implications: Romans 12:1-2 , Psalm 51:10 * All God's riches are in Christ - God is pleased when we run to Jesus / run to the Father
3. GOSPEL PARTNERING IS GLOBAL (v.21-23) * You're partnering has a cumulative effect - those you engage with, get engaged with others, who get engaged with others, etc, etc. * Everyone you engage with can have tentacles that reach to all parts of the earth * Paul (from prison) had engagements that reached Caesar's household (v.22)
