00:00:38.899 --> 00:00:45.060
 Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia,

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:51.200
 no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but you only.

00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:56.560
 For even in Thessalonica you sent once and again unto my necessity.

00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:02.920
 Not because I desire a gift, but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.

00:01:03.900 --> 00:01:05.900
 But I have all and abound.

00:01:06.060 --> 00:01:11.060
 I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you,

00:01:11.900 --> 00:01:17.700
 an odor of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God.

00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:24.299
 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches and glory by Christ Jesus.

00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:28.240
 Now unto God and our Father be glory forever and ever.

00:01:28.960 --> 00:01:29.320
 Amen.

00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:40.540
 What a great, great way to end such a profitable and joyful letter with such doxology at the end of that.

00:01:41.100 --> 00:01:45.040
 As Paul says, now glory be to God forever and ever.

00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:49.320
 And what is it that leads him into this great doxology?

00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:54.219
 It is a discussion about what the Philippians had done for him.

00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:58.060
 It was the joy that he had experienced in their partnership.

00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:08.159
 And it was the excitement that he sensed as he saw Epaphroditus come through that small, tiny prison apartment in Rome

00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:11.740
 bearing a gift from his loved ones in Philippi.

00:02:11.740 --> 00:02:18.659
 Last week we began the study in these verses and we only made it through really the first section of it.

00:02:19.140 --> 00:02:21.860
 And today we're going to finish in verses 18 and 19.

00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:26.300
 To help my study and maybe even perhaps to help your study of this particular passage,

00:02:26.379 --> 00:02:29.460
 I've really just had three headings, each just a single word.

00:02:29.740 --> 00:02:32.700
 We got to the first word last week which was share.

00:02:32.699 --> 00:02:41.659
 And we see that in verse number 15 as Paul once again uses this word group in the Greek, the koinon word group or koinonia.

00:02:42.619 --> 00:02:47.419
 As he says that no one communicated is the word that he uses here that is translated here for us.

00:02:47.679 --> 00:02:52.739
 No one communicated in giving and receiving except you only at a particular partner's ministry.

00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:57.659
 The word there is fellowship, partnership in, sharing in.

00:02:57.659 --> 00:03:02.079
 And as we begin to understand the context of chapter 4, this part of chapter 4,

00:03:02.500 --> 00:03:10.960
 we see that what Paul is referring to is the sharing in material resources that the Philippians had shared with the gospel ministry of Paul.

00:03:11.139 --> 00:03:16.919
 But then what they had also had a share in, in the benefits and the fruitfulness of the gospel.

00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:20.460
 And so we see in these headings, the first one is share.

00:03:20.460 --> 00:03:26.280
 And then we get to this second heading in our study today which comes to us from verse 18.

00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:31.460
 And here's the word that we find, sacrifice, sacrifice.

00:03:32.460 --> 00:03:34.280
 Look with me at verse 18 again.

00:03:35.040 --> 00:03:35.560
 Paul says,

00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:57.980
 As Paul continues writing out his thank you note to the church here,

00:03:57.979 --> 00:04:05.079
 We can sense again the joy and the excitement that he would have experienced having received this gift.

00:04:06.179 --> 00:04:10.299
 Knowing that without the gift that was coming from other laborers in the ministry,

00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:15.839
 without the gifts that were coming from Philippi and perhaps other churches as well during this imprisonment,

00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.779
 he wouldn't even be able to have the basic needs of life,

00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:22.980
 the basic needs of nourishment and food and warmth and closing.

00:04:23.259 --> 00:04:26.759
 All of that came by way of the giving of others.

00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:30.219
 And he writes in this encouragement thank you note and he says,

00:04:30.539 --> 00:04:33.139
 I want you to know, Philippi, that I'm full.

00:04:33.899 --> 00:04:35.259
 I have everything that I need.

00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:42.800
 Because of you, I have been fully supplied as Epaphroditus has brought this gift on your behalf.

00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:49.060
 But again, it wasn't the material gain and the gift that he joined in the most.

00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:51.920
 It was what the gift represented,

00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:57.300
 which was the faithful worship of the Philippian church.

00:04:58.020 --> 00:05:00.160
 Which is why in the second half of this verse,

00:05:00.259 --> 00:05:00.580
 he says,

00:05:00.699 --> 00:05:04.840
 I am full, I'm excited, I am joyful having received this gift from you

00:05:04.840 --> 00:05:08.080
 because this gift is an odor of a sweet smell

00:05:08.080 --> 00:05:12.580
 that is acceptable and it is pleasing to the Lord.

00:05:12.579 --> 00:05:19.839
 Paul compared the giving of the Philippian church here to the sacrificial system of the Old Testament.

00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:27.620
 And doing this, he tied their generosity directly to worship of God.

00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:32.259
 In fact, the Old Testament routinely uses this analogy,

00:05:32.459 --> 00:05:36.579
 the aroma of the burnt offering as an analogy to God being satisfied

00:05:36.579 --> 00:05:43.039
 satisfied and pleased by the worship of those who genuinely love and obey him.

00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:45.000
 And it's not the first time that he's done this in the letter.

00:05:45.219 --> 00:05:50.639
 In fact, flip back just a page over to chapter 2 and look with me at verse 17.

00:05:51.659 --> 00:05:53.060
 Paul's done this once before.

00:05:53.459 --> 00:05:53.819
 He says,

00:05:53.819 --> 00:06:07.180
 There he's making a reference to the drink offering that would have been poured out.

00:06:07.259 --> 00:06:08.399
 And he was essentially saying,

00:06:08.819 --> 00:06:10.920
 if my suffering, if my work,

00:06:11.180 --> 00:06:15.699
 if the issues that I'm facing is used faithfully by God as a drink offering

00:06:15.699 --> 00:06:17.300
 that is pleasing to him,

00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:21.680
 that uplifts an aroma to the Lord that pleases him and is acceptable to him,

00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:24.000
 that I am willing to face whatever I need to face.

00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.019
 And here again, he ties it back into their giving.

00:06:27.060 --> 00:06:27.660
 And he says,

00:06:27.740 --> 00:06:30.180
 I'm so thankful and I joy in what you have done

00:06:30.180 --> 00:06:31.759
 because what you have done in this gift

00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:36.240
 shows that you are committed to the worship of your heavenly Father

00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:38.680
 because your gift has arisen to him

00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:41.360
 in the way that the Old Testament burnt offering

00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:43.280
 would have had an aroma that arose

00:06:43.280 --> 00:06:46.300
 and was well-pleasing and acceptable to the Lord.

00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:49.620
 Paul was saying that their gift was an act of worship.

00:06:49.620 --> 00:06:56.240
 And truly, giving is foremost a matter of Christian worship.

00:06:57.340 --> 00:07:01.079
 And worship is by nature sacrificial.

00:07:02.420 --> 00:07:05.819
 Giving is foremost a matter of Christian worship.

00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:10.420
 And worship is by nature sacrificial.

00:07:11.980 --> 00:07:15.519
 To truly worship is to offer something to God

00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:17.639
 that reflects his worth.

00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:22.180
 The word literally comes from an old English word,

00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:24.360
 worth or worth-ship.

00:07:25.060 --> 00:07:28.120
 In other words, the worship is the offering up

00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:32.300
 of what we feel God is worthy of receiving from us.

00:07:32.419 --> 00:07:34.959
 It is to ascribe a value to the thing

00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:37.639
 that we are worshiping in that moment.

00:07:37.819 --> 00:07:39.639
 How is it that you ascribe value

00:07:40.180 --> 00:07:42.439
 to your heavenly Father,

00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:45.379
 to your Savior, Jesus Christ,

00:07:45.699 --> 00:07:48.199
 and to the Holy Spirit and his work in your life?

00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:50.000
 That's what our worship is.

00:07:51.259 --> 00:07:53.079
 This term has been misused

00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:55.439
 in modern Christianity.

00:07:56.300 --> 00:07:57.600
 People try to box it up.

00:07:57.800 --> 00:07:59.579
 They would describe worship

00:07:59.579 --> 00:08:02.420
 as just a portion of a service

00:08:02.420 --> 00:08:03.420
 when we would sing.

00:08:03.620 --> 00:08:04.720
 And singing is just that.

00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:05.300
 It's just singing.

00:08:05.420 --> 00:08:06.199
 It's a part of worship.

00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:07.920
 It's not the totality of worship.

00:08:09.039 --> 00:08:11.060
 Neither is a worship service

00:08:11.060 --> 00:08:12.639
 the totality of worship.

00:08:13.699 --> 00:08:16.000
 Worship is a response

00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.120
 to how you view God.

00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:19.779
 And it's not only a response

00:08:19.779 --> 00:08:21.659
 that is done for an hour and a half

00:08:21.659 --> 00:08:22.480
 on a Sunday morning.

00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:24.639
 It is a response that is demonstrated

00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:26.419
 in your life 24 hours a day,

00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:27.839
 seven days a week.

00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:30.459
 What kind of value

00:08:30.459 --> 00:08:34.299
 do you hold God with in your life?

00:08:35.059 --> 00:08:36.919
 Paul ties this worship directly

00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:39.839
 to the giving of the Philippian church.

00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:41.899
 And this is really where we see

00:08:41.899 --> 00:08:43.659
 in other passages in the New Testament

00:08:43.659 --> 00:08:46.079
 that our eyes are opened

00:08:46.079 --> 00:08:47.620
 to the spirit of the Philippians.

00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:49.100
 Listen to this passage

00:08:49.100 --> 00:08:51.179
 from 2 Corinthians chapter eight.

00:08:51.339 --> 00:08:53.480
 Paul was encouraging the Corinthian church

00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:54.000
 in their giving

00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:56.980
 and he uses the Philippians as his example.

00:08:56.980 --> 00:08:57.819
 Here's what he says.

00:08:58.660 --> 00:08:59.420
 Moreover, brethren,

00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:00.920
 we want you to know

00:09:00.920 --> 00:09:02.040
 of the grace of God

00:09:02.040 --> 00:09:04.139
 bestowed on the churches of Macedonia,

00:09:04.980 --> 00:09:07.500
 how then a great trial of affliction,

00:09:08.340 --> 00:09:10.340
 the abundance of their joy

00:09:10.340 --> 00:09:12.220
 and their deep poverty

00:09:12.220 --> 00:09:14.759
 abounded unto the riches

00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:15.920
 of their generosity.

00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:16.620
 In other words,

00:09:16.860 --> 00:09:17.759
 they had nothing,

00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:19.139
 but they gave what they have.

00:09:19.220 --> 00:09:20.379
 They were generous to give

00:09:20.379 --> 00:09:21.940
 even in the midst of poverty.

00:09:22.340 --> 00:09:23.560
 For to their power,

00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:25.220
 I bear record, Paul writes.

00:09:25.460 --> 00:09:27.560
 Yea, and beyond their power,

00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:29.660
 they were willing of themselves,

00:09:30.160 --> 00:09:31.780
 begging us earnestly

00:09:31.780 --> 00:09:33.860
 that we would receive the gift

00:09:33.860 --> 00:09:35.000
 and take upon us,

00:09:35.040 --> 00:09:36.259
 here's that koinan word again,

00:09:36.560 --> 00:09:38.200
 take upon us the fellowship,

00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:39.259
 the sharing of,

00:09:39.500 --> 00:09:40.300
 the partnership

00:09:40.300 --> 00:09:42.080
 of the ministering to the saints.

00:09:42.300 --> 00:09:43.700
 And then listen to how he closes it

00:09:43.700 --> 00:09:44.320
 in verse five.

00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:46.600
 And this they did,

00:09:47.140 --> 00:09:48.700
 not as we expected,

00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:50.900
 but they first gave

00:09:50.900 --> 00:09:52.640
 of their own selves

00:09:52.640 --> 00:09:53.660
 to the Lord

00:09:53.660 --> 00:09:55.560
 and unto us

00:09:55.560 --> 00:09:56.620
 by the will of God.

00:09:57.140 --> 00:09:59.180
 This first giving of their selves

00:09:59.180 --> 00:10:00.320
 is not a reference

00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:01.640
 to first in time,

00:10:01.740 --> 00:10:03.100
 but first in priority.

00:10:03.260 --> 00:10:04.920
 That the giving materially

00:10:04.920 --> 00:10:06.320
 of the Philippian church

00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:07.460
 to these other churches

00:10:07.460 --> 00:10:08.260
 that were in need

00:10:08.260 --> 00:10:10.360
 wasn't just a form of obligation

00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:11.460
 or form of tradition.

00:10:11.460 --> 00:10:12.840
 It was the overflow

00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:14.780
 of how they had first in priority

00:10:14.780 --> 00:10:16.900
 given everything of themselves

00:10:16.900 --> 00:10:18.639
 to the Lord.

00:10:19.740 --> 00:10:21.620
 They had first offered themselves

00:10:21.620 --> 00:10:22.560
 to him.

00:10:22.800 --> 00:10:24.340
 And as they had offered themselves

00:10:24.340 --> 00:10:25.280
 and their whole being

00:10:25.280 --> 00:10:26.120
 and their whole life,

00:10:26.280 --> 00:10:27.220
 it didn't matter to them

00:10:27.220 --> 00:10:28.139
 that they were in poverty.

00:10:28.340 --> 00:10:29.200
 They were willing to give

00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:30.019
 whatever they had

00:10:30.019 --> 00:10:32.220
 in order to show their worship

00:10:32.220 --> 00:10:33.820
 to the Lord,

00:10:33.900 --> 00:10:35.720
 to ascribe this value

00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:38.000
 to their creator.

00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:40.600
 They had taken what Paul

00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:42.460
 had written to the Roman church

00:10:42.460 --> 00:10:43.860
 in chapter 12 to heart.

00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:45.779
 I beseech you therefore,

00:10:46.019 --> 00:10:46.960
 brethren, Paul wrote,

00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:48.759
 by the mercies of God

00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:50.320
 that you present your bodies

00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:51.580
 a living sacrifice,

00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.000
 holy, acceptable unto God,

00:10:54.059 --> 00:10:56.659
 which is your spiritual worship,

00:10:57.919 --> 00:10:58.620
 he says.

00:11:00.580 --> 00:11:01.840
 What is God worthy

00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:03.259
 of receiving from you today?

00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:05.440
 The simple answer to that

00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:06.559
 is everything.

00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:08.399
 Everything.

00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:10.360
 God is not interested

00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:11.080
 in your money.

00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:12.639
 He's interested in you.

00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:14.820
 He doesn't need your money,

00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:16.919
 but he wants you.

00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:19.159
 And as we offer ourselves,

00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:20.340
 our whole being,

00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:21.059
 our spirit,

00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:22.740
 our worship to him,

00:11:22.860 --> 00:11:24.639
 the natural overflow of that

00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:25.299
 is we will give

00:11:25.299 --> 00:11:26.259
 whatever is necessary

00:11:26.259 --> 00:11:26.960
 for us to give,

00:11:27.100 --> 00:11:28.320
 however it is that the Lord

00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:29.320
 leads us to give,

00:11:29.340 --> 00:11:31.120
 in order that we can

00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:32.740
 demonstrate our worship

00:11:32.740 --> 00:11:34.539
 to him.

00:11:34.539 --> 00:11:38.099
 we can't look at this passage

00:11:38.099 --> 00:11:39.179
 and consider it

00:11:39.179 --> 00:11:41.620
 without seeing first

00:11:41.620 --> 00:11:43.240
 the implication of sacrifice

00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:45.240
 as the Bible teaches

00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:46.500
 about our spirit of giving.

00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:48.480
 For many of us,

00:11:48.539 --> 00:11:48.740
 really,

00:11:48.860 --> 00:11:51.419
 giving isn't much of a sacrifice.

00:11:52.860 --> 00:11:56.159
 We have been so tremendously blessed

00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:58.579
 that we are capable

00:11:58.579 --> 00:11:59.839
 of really regularly giving,

00:11:59.919 --> 00:12:00.600
 many of us,

00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:02.059
 without it having too much

00:12:02.059 --> 00:12:03.240
 of an effect on our lives.

00:12:03.259 --> 00:12:04.919
 It doesn't really drastically

00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:06.539
 affect the way that we live.

00:12:07.579 --> 00:12:08.620
 But the Bible teaches

00:12:08.620 --> 00:12:09.839
 that we are to be ready

00:12:09.839 --> 00:12:10.519
 to give

00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:12.459
 even when it's inconvenient

00:12:12.459 --> 00:12:14.659
 and a great sacrifice

00:12:14.659 --> 00:12:15.379
 to do so.

00:12:16.939 --> 00:12:17.559
 In fact,

00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:18.419
 many of us,

00:12:18.500 --> 00:12:19.399
 even to my own shame,

00:12:19.439 --> 00:12:20.120
 I make this statement,

00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:21.319
 would do well

00:12:21.319 --> 00:12:22.419
 to structure our budgets

00:12:22.419 --> 00:12:23.220
 around our giving

00:12:23.220 --> 00:12:25.720
 rather than around

00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:26.779
 our wants

00:12:26.779 --> 00:12:29.040
 and give whatever's left over.

00:12:30.580 --> 00:12:31.720
 I wonder how many of us

00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:32.460
 have ever actually

00:12:32.460 --> 00:12:33.720
 structured a budget that way.

00:12:34.820 --> 00:12:35.279
 Julie and I prayed

00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:36.160
 about this this week

00:12:36.160 --> 00:12:37.920
 and really in a response

00:12:37.920 --> 00:12:38.960
 to our study last week

00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:39.720
 and talking about

00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:41.940
 how few times

00:12:41.940 --> 00:12:43.000
 we've viewed our giving

00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:43.519
 as anything

00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:44.759
 but just another

00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:46.399
 kind of category

00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:47.340
 on the budget list

00:12:47.340 --> 00:12:47.879
 every week

00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:48.660
 or every month.

00:12:49.740 --> 00:12:50.460
 But how many times

00:12:50.460 --> 00:12:51.259
 have we sat down

00:12:51.259 --> 00:12:51.700
 and thought,

00:12:51.700 --> 00:12:52.780
 how much

00:12:52.780 --> 00:12:54.000
 can I actually

00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:54.780
 live on

00:12:54.780 --> 00:12:56.020
 to have my needs met

00:12:56.020 --> 00:12:57.300
 so that I can give

00:12:57.300 --> 00:12:58.280
 as much as I can

00:12:58.280 --> 00:12:58.800
 to the Lord,

00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:00.400
 to His work?

00:13:01.220 --> 00:13:02.440
 Very few of us do that.

00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:04.140
 Really,

00:13:04.520 --> 00:13:05.759
 sacrifice is a huge part

00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:06.140
 of giving.

00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:07.740
 It's a huge part

00:13:07.740 --> 00:13:08.259
 of the spirit

00:13:08.259 --> 00:13:09.660
 of our giving.

00:13:10.700 --> 00:13:11.580
 The Philippian church,

00:13:11.660 --> 00:13:12.440
 as we've already seen,

00:13:12.520 --> 00:13:13.480
 gave out of their poverty

00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:14.440
 at times.

00:13:15.500 --> 00:13:16.420
 And rather than use that

00:13:16.420 --> 00:13:17.180
 as an excuse,

00:13:18.100 --> 00:13:19.360
 they willingly sacrificed

00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:20.300
 for the pleasure

00:13:20.300 --> 00:13:22.019
 and the glory of God.

00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:24.700
 Jesus taught this lesson

00:13:24.700 --> 00:13:26.139
 to His disciples

00:13:26.139 --> 00:13:27.300
 in Mark chapter 12

00:13:27.300 --> 00:13:28.419
 in a story that I'm sure

00:13:28.419 --> 00:13:29.220
 you're familiar with.

00:13:29.899 --> 00:13:30.620
 Here's what it says,

00:13:30.700 --> 00:13:31.440
 and He sat down

00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:32.779
 opposite of the treasury

00:13:32.779 --> 00:13:34.220
 and watched the people

00:13:34.220 --> 00:13:34.800
 putting money

00:13:34.800 --> 00:13:35.940
 into the offering box.

00:13:36.300 --> 00:13:37.200
 Can you imagine that?

00:13:37.500 --> 00:13:38.379
 That would be such

00:13:38.379 --> 00:13:39.919
 a poor thing to do

00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:40.980
 in Christian churches today,

00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:41.340
 wouldn't it?

00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:43.060
 We would hate for Jesus

00:13:43.060 --> 00:13:43.980
 to do that to us.

00:13:44.500 --> 00:13:45.820
 As we take up the offering

00:13:45.820 --> 00:13:46.460
 in the service,

00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:47.480
 what if I just kind of

00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:48.560
 sat down and just watched

00:13:48.560 --> 00:13:49.519
 every offering?

00:13:50.160 --> 00:13:51.400
 Okay, make sure.

00:13:51.500 --> 00:13:52.400
 How much did you give

00:13:52.400 --> 00:13:53.240
 and how much did you give?

00:13:53.580 --> 00:13:54.660
 Jesus is setting our cross

00:13:54.660 --> 00:13:55.500
 from the offering box.

00:13:55.560 --> 00:13:56.120
 It was a box

00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:56.680
 that many churches

00:13:56.680 --> 00:13:57.500
 actually use today

00:13:57.500 --> 00:13:58.000
 where they would,

00:13:58.259 --> 00:13:59.480
 instead of passing a plate,

00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:00.680
 they would drop their money

00:14:00.680 --> 00:14:01.160
 in a box

00:14:01.160 --> 00:14:01.980
 and they would have

00:14:01.980 --> 00:14:02.759
 a moment of worship

00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:03.519
 and prayer there

00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:04.660
 as they gave to the Lord.

00:14:04.800 --> 00:14:05.519
 And that's exactly

00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:06.500
 what Jesus is doing

00:14:06.500 --> 00:14:07.379
 in Mark chapter 12.

00:14:07.460 --> 00:14:07.860
 He's sitting

00:14:07.860 --> 00:14:08.680
 and He's just watching

00:14:08.680 --> 00:14:09.360
 people give.

00:14:10.100 --> 00:14:10.500
 And it says,

00:14:10.680 --> 00:14:11.259
 many rich people

00:14:11.259 --> 00:14:12.400
 put in large sums,

00:14:13.180 --> 00:14:14.200
 great amounts of money.

00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:16.160
 But a poor widow came

00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:18.240
 and put in two small

00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:19.379
 copper coins

00:14:19.379 --> 00:14:20.819
 which make a penny.

00:14:21.419 --> 00:14:22.100
 This penny

00:14:22.100 --> 00:14:23.639
 wasn't even a day's wage.

00:14:23.980 --> 00:14:24.839
 It was even just

00:14:24.839 --> 00:14:26.199
 a portion of a day's wage.

00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:28.339
 And He called His disciples

00:14:28.339 --> 00:14:29.579
 to Him and said to them,

00:14:30.459 --> 00:14:31.919
 truly I say to you,

00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:33.679
 this poor widow

00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:34.799
 has put in more

00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:35.620
 than all those

00:14:35.620 --> 00:14:36.379
 who are contributing

00:14:36.379 --> 00:14:37.579
 to the offering box.

00:14:38.299 --> 00:14:39.579
 For they all contributed

00:14:39.579 --> 00:14:40.459
 out of their abundance.

00:14:41.459 --> 00:14:42.799
 But she out of her poverty

00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:44.139
 has put in everything

00:14:44.139 --> 00:14:45.039
 that she had.

00:14:45.699 --> 00:14:46.799
 All she had to live on.

00:14:48.379 --> 00:14:49.699
 Jesus isn't instructing

00:14:49.699 --> 00:14:50.399
 that when you come

00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:51.139
 to church on Sunday

00:14:51.139 --> 00:14:51.659
 you're to give

00:14:51.659 --> 00:14:52.659
 every penny

00:14:52.659 --> 00:14:53.379
 in your bank account.

00:14:53.460 --> 00:14:53.779
 That's not what

00:14:53.779 --> 00:14:54.539
 He's instructing there.

00:14:54.819 --> 00:14:55.519
 Please don't mistake

00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:56.080
 what I'm saying.

00:14:57.299 --> 00:14:58.419
 What He's saying is

00:14:58.419 --> 00:14:59.279
 the value

00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:00.460
 of what she gave

00:15:00.460 --> 00:15:01.819
 though it was so small

00:15:01.819 --> 00:15:03.319
 in everyone else's mind

00:15:03.319 --> 00:15:05.139
 was great to Him.

00:15:05.899 --> 00:15:06.259
 Why?

00:15:07.199 --> 00:15:08.059
 Because she gave

00:15:08.059 --> 00:15:09.200
 out of sacrifice.

00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:11.620
 All of the people

00:15:11.620 --> 00:15:12.559
 that were parading

00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:13.979
 in front of the offering box

00:15:13.979 --> 00:15:15.419
 that out of their wealth

00:15:15.419 --> 00:15:16.659
 were giving large sums

00:15:16.659 --> 00:15:17.119
 of money

00:15:17.119 --> 00:15:17.859
 and maybe even

00:15:17.859 --> 00:15:19.599
 positively doing that

00:15:19.599 --> 00:15:21.059
 and helpfully doing that

00:15:21.059 --> 00:15:22.599
 Jesus sees this poor widow

00:15:22.599 --> 00:15:23.939
 come and He values

00:15:23.939 --> 00:15:24.939
 the gift that she gave

00:15:24.939 --> 00:15:26.219
 even though it was so small

00:15:26.219 --> 00:15:27.179
 because she gave it

00:15:27.179 --> 00:15:28.259
 in a spirit of worship

00:15:28.259 --> 00:15:29.419
 and a worship

00:15:29.419 --> 00:15:30.639
 that was by nature

00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:32.000
 sacrificial.

00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:33.739
 And He began to teach

00:15:33.739 --> 00:15:35.000
 His disciples about it.

00:15:35.839 --> 00:15:37.399
 He also instructed later

00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:38.879
 that our hearts

00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:39.519
 are to be set

00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:41.259
 on spiritual things

00:15:41.259 --> 00:15:42.779
 in order that our money

00:15:42.779 --> 00:15:43.419
 might be given

00:15:43.419 --> 00:15:44.319
 to God's work

00:15:44.319 --> 00:15:46.080
 instead of our own wealth.

00:15:46.659 --> 00:15:47.539
 Listen to what He said

00:15:47.539 --> 00:15:48.720
 in Matthew chapter 6.

00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:50.639
 Do not lay up

00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:51.240
 for yourselves

00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:52.319
 treasures on earth

00:15:52.319 --> 00:15:54.019
 where moth and rust

00:15:54.019 --> 00:15:54.819
 doth destroy

00:15:54.819 --> 00:15:55.919
 and where thieves

00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:57.019
 break in and steal

00:15:57.019 --> 00:15:59.500
 but lay up yourself

00:15:59.500 --> 00:16:01.100
 treasures in heaven

00:16:01.100 --> 00:16:02.539
 where neither moth

00:16:02.539 --> 00:16:03.700
 nor rust destroys

00:16:03.700 --> 00:16:04.580
 and where thieves

00:16:04.580 --> 00:16:05.600
 do not break in

00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:06.220
 and steal

00:16:06.220 --> 00:16:07.939
 for where your treasure is

00:16:07.939 --> 00:16:08.980
 there your heart

00:16:08.980 --> 00:16:10.179
 will be also.

00:16:10.179 --> 00:16:11.839
 No one can serve

00:16:11.839 --> 00:16:12.459
 two masters

00:16:12.459 --> 00:16:13.199
 Jesus said.

00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:14.339
 Either He will hate

00:16:14.339 --> 00:16:14.959
 the one and love

00:16:14.959 --> 00:16:15.319
 the other

00:16:15.319 --> 00:16:16.339
 or He'll be devoted

00:16:16.339 --> 00:16:16.839
 to the one

00:16:16.839 --> 00:16:17.919
 and despise the other.

00:16:18.239 --> 00:16:18.919
 You cannot serve

00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:20.299
 God and money

00:16:20.299 --> 00:16:21.479
 He says.

00:16:22.579 --> 00:16:23.239
 What is the key

00:16:23.239 --> 00:16:23.679
 to giving?

00:16:24.459 --> 00:16:25.179
 Understanding that

00:16:25.179 --> 00:16:25.559
 our giving

00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:27.120
 is actually worship

00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:28.379
 and worship

00:16:28.379 --> 00:16:29.179
 is by nature

00:16:29.179 --> 00:16:30.079
 sacrifice

00:16:30.079 --> 00:16:31.379
 and many times

00:16:31.379 --> 00:16:32.259
 will be called upon

00:16:32.259 --> 00:16:32.899
 by the Lord

00:16:32.899 --> 00:16:34.779
 to give sacrificially

00:16:34.779 --> 00:16:36.000
 to His work

00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:37.240
 out of a sense

00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:37.740
 of worship.

00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:38.979
 This is the reason

00:16:38.980 --> 00:16:39.980
 we actually take up

00:16:39.980 --> 00:16:40.379
 an offering

00:16:40.379 --> 00:16:41.379
 every Sunday morning

00:16:41.379 --> 00:16:43.240
 not because the Bible

00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:43.940
 says you must

00:16:43.940 --> 00:16:44.920
 pass a plate

00:16:44.920 --> 00:16:46.259
 or have mast

00:16:46.259 --> 00:16:47.480
 and gloved ushers

00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:48.159
 that walk around

00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:48.860
 and hold out a plate

00:16:48.860 --> 00:16:49.980
 to you in these days.

00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:51.960
 The Bible doesn't tell us

00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:52.100
 that.

00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:53.060
 We can put up offering boxes

00:16:53.060 --> 00:16:53.680
 and it would be

00:16:53.680 --> 00:16:54.480
 just as fine

00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:55.100
 but the reason

00:16:55.100 --> 00:16:56.440
 we have a designated

00:16:56.440 --> 00:16:57.340
 time in our service

00:16:57.340 --> 00:16:57.940
 every Sunday

00:16:57.940 --> 00:16:58.639
 is to emphasize

00:16:58.639 --> 00:16:59.659
 that as we give

00:16:59.659 --> 00:17:01.039
 this is our worship

00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:02.060
 to the Lord.

00:17:02.860 --> 00:17:03.759
 We're not to take it

00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:04.279
 casually

00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:06.279
 or thoughtlessly.

00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:08.639
 It's to be a time

00:17:08.639 --> 00:17:10.700
 that we contemplatively

00:17:10.700 --> 00:17:11.839
 worship

00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:12.920
 as we reflect

00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:13.420
 on what God

00:17:13.420 --> 00:17:14.220
 has done for us

00:17:14.220 --> 00:17:14.720
 in Christ

00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:15.539
 as we reflect

00:17:15.539 --> 00:17:16.660
 on the providential care

00:17:16.660 --> 00:17:17.619
 that He has demonstrated

00:17:17.619 --> 00:17:18.599
 and what He has given

00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:19.019
 to us

00:17:19.019 --> 00:17:20.099
 and then in worship

00:17:20.099 --> 00:17:21.539
 in joyful

00:17:21.539 --> 00:17:22.779
 cheerful worship

00:17:22.779 --> 00:17:23.899
 we say

00:17:23.899 --> 00:17:25.420
 we give this back

00:17:25.420 --> 00:17:26.039
 to you

00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:27.899
 with the same spirit

00:17:27.899 --> 00:17:28.859
 that we anticipate

00:17:28.859 --> 00:17:30.500
 casting those crowns

00:17:30.500 --> 00:17:31.759
 back at His feet

00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:32.680
 in heaven.

00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:33.599
 We give back

00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:34.079
 to the Lord

00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:34.980
 during this part

00:17:34.980 --> 00:17:35.700
 of our service

00:17:35.700 --> 00:17:36.779
 in worship

00:17:36.779 --> 00:17:37.960
 and it's there

00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:38.640
 for a reason

00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:40.140
 that we might think

00:17:40.140 --> 00:17:41.099
 on it in that way.

00:17:42.059 --> 00:17:42.799
 Many of us probably

00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:43.720
 give online.

00:17:43.859 --> 00:17:44.359
 Julie and I

00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:44.879
 our habit

00:17:44.879 --> 00:17:46.039
 many times

00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:46.519
 is actually

00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:47.319
 to give online

00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:48.279
 but the danger

00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:48.839
 in that

00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:50.559
 is that we lose

00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:51.460
 the sense of worship

00:17:51.460 --> 00:17:52.279
 in the service

00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:54.200
 as we come

00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:55.339
 and we reflect

00:17:55.339 --> 00:17:56.160
 on what we're

00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:56.819
 actually doing

00:17:56.819 --> 00:17:58.180
 and so when we

00:17:58.180 --> 00:17:59.339
 look at verse 18

00:17:59.339 --> 00:18:00.240
 we see that

00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:01.420
 this second heading

00:18:01.420 --> 00:18:02.700
 there is sacrifice

00:18:02.700 --> 00:18:03.400
 it's worship

00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:05.120
 and He was commending

00:18:05.120 --> 00:18:06.019
 the Philippian church

00:18:06.019 --> 00:18:06.519
 on that

00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:07.620
 and then thirdly

00:18:07.620 --> 00:18:08.180
 and finally

00:18:08.180 --> 00:18:10.400
 is supply

00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:11.680
 their share

00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:13.660
 their sacrifice

00:18:13.660 --> 00:18:15.680
 and their supply

00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:16.519
 look with me

00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:17.380
 at verse 19

00:18:17.380 --> 00:18:18.580
 I love this

00:18:18.580 --> 00:18:20.820
 but my God

00:18:20.820 --> 00:18:21.700
 shall supply

00:18:21.700 --> 00:18:23.600
 all of your need

00:18:23.600 --> 00:18:24.759
 Paul says

00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:25.700
 in verse 18

00:18:25.700 --> 00:18:26.200
 he said

00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:27.380
 God through you

00:18:27.380 --> 00:18:28.120
 has supplied

00:18:28.120 --> 00:18:29.120
 my need

00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:30.939
 I am fully

00:18:30.939 --> 00:18:31.419
 supplied

00:18:31.419 --> 00:18:32.099
 I'm full

00:18:32.099 --> 00:18:33.199
 I'm overflowing

00:18:33.199 --> 00:18:34.159
 now because of

00:18:34.159 --> 00:18:34.459
 your gift

00:18:34.459 --> 00:18:35.199
 and now He's saying

00:18:35.199 --> 00:18:36.119
 but my God

00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:36.619
 that has just

00:18:36.619 --> 00:18:37.299
 supplied my need

00:18:37.299 --> 00:18:37.899
 He's going to

00:18:37.899 --> 00:18:38.279
 supply

00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:39.699
 your need

00:18:39.699 --> 00:18:40.500
 how?

00:18:40.899 --> 00:18:41.819
 according to

00:18:41.819 --> 00:18:42.500
 His riches

00:18:42.500 --> 00:18:43.839
 in glory

00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:45.919
 by Christ Jesus

00:18:45.919 --> 00:18:47.439
 isn't that great?

00:18:48.579 --> 00:18:49.599
 what an encouragement

00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:51.459
 that when we come

00:18:51.459 --> 00:18:51.899
 to the Lord

00:18:51.899 --> 00:18:52.500
 many times

00:18:52.500 --> 00:18:53.219
 even with that

00:18:53.219 --> 00:18:54.059
 touch of fear

00:18:54.059 --> 00:18:54.699
 in our minds

00:18:54.699 --> 00:18:55.279
 in our heart

00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:56.559
 and we want to give

00:18:56.559 --> 00:18:57.299
 and we desire

00:18:57.299 --> 00:18:57.960
 to sacrifice

00:18:57.960 --> 00:18:59.019
 not just in material

00:18:59.019 --> 00:18:59.379
 things

00:18:59.379 --> 00:19:00.480
 but in our time

00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:01.519
 and in our efforts

00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:02.619
 and in our spirits

00:19:02.619 --> 00:19:04.000
 and we want to give back

00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:04.500
 to the Lord

00:19:04.500 --> 00:19:05.319
 in worship

00:19:05.319 --> 00:19:06.079
 but we have that

00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:07.139
 tinge of fear

00:19:07.139 --> 00:19:07.759
 that exists

00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:08.440
 and then we can be

00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:09.700
 reminded of verse 19

00:19:09.700 --> 00:19:10.139
 that says

00:19:10.139 --> 00:19:11.000
 but my God

00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:11.679
 will supply

00:19:11.679 --> 00:19:12.799
 all of your need

00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:13.359
 well how's God

00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:13.899
 going to supply

00:19:13.899 --> 00:19:14.579
 all of your need

00:19:14.579 --> 00:19:15.679
 because of His

00:19:15.679 --> 00:19:17.000
 infinite riches

00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:18.299
 in glory

00:19:18.299 --> 00:19:19.679
 and we can be

00:19:19.679 --> 00:19:20.279
 encouraged

00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:21.839
 and we can dispel

00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:22.419
 that fear

00:19:22.419 --> 00:19:23.899
 after Paul

00:19:23.899 --> 00:19:24.619
 expressed this

00:19:24.619 --> 00:19:25.099
 gratitude

00:19:25.099 --> 00:19:26.619
 he issues

00:19:26.619 --> 00:19:27.779
 a wonderful promise

00:19:27.779 --> 00:19:30.039
 God will supply

00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:30.819
 your need

00:19:30.819 --> 00:19:32.159
 every need

00:19:32.159 --> 00:19:33.679
 according to

00:19:33.679 --> 00:19:34.839
 His infinite resources

00:19:34.839 --> 00:19:36.480
 but how could

00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:36.959
 He say it

00:19:36.959 --> 00:19:37.899
 with such certainty

00:19:37.899 --> 00:19:39.859
 because He was

00:19:39.859 --> 00:19:41.319
 a living testimony

00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:42.399
 of the sustaining

00:19:42.399 --> 00:19:43.059
 power

00:19:43.059 --> 00:19:44.259
 of God

00:19:44.259 --> 00:19:45.819
 He had given

00:19:45.819 --> 00:19:47.059
 everything up

00:19:47.059 --> 00:19:49.319
 at one point

00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:50.000
 for Christ

00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:50.699
 in fact

00:19:50.699 --> 00:19:51.480
 He's talked about

00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:52.199
 that in this passage

00:19:52.199 --> 00:19:53.079
 flip back to verse

00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:54.259
 or chapter 3

00:19:54.259 --> 00:19:55.339
 and look with me

00:19:55.339 --> 00:19:56.200
 at verse 7

00:19:56.200 --> 00:19:58.819
 Paul after

00:19:58.819 --> 00:19:59.819
 spending a few verses

00:19:59.819 --> 00:20:00.420
 talking about

00:20:00.420 --> 00:20:01.079
 everything that he

00:20:01.079 --> 00:20:01.599
 had considered

00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:02.779
 gain in his life

00:20:02.779 --> 00:20:03.700
 he gets to verse 7

00:20:03.700 --> 00:20:04.079
 and he says

00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:05.000
 but what things

00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:06.079
 were gained to me

00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:07.140
 those I counted

00:20:07.140 --> 00:20:08.480
 loss for Christ

00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:09.259
 yea doubtless

00:20:09.259 --> 00:20:10.519
 I count all things

00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:11.180
 but loss

00:20:11.180 --> 00:20:12.619
 for the surpassing

00:20:12.619 --> 00:20:13.599
 value

00:20:13.599 --> 00:20:14.859
 of knowing

00:20:14.859 --> 00:20:15.799
 Christ Jesus

00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:16.680
 my Lord

00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:17.519
 he says

00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:18.480
 for whom I have

00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:19.640
 suffered the loss

00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:20.700
 of all things

00:20:20.700 --> 00:20:22.099
 and do count them

00:20:22.099 --> 00:20:23.039
 but dung

00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:23.839
 that I may

00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:24.599
 win Christ

00:20:24.599 --> 00:20:25.699
 and be found

00:20:25.699 --> 00:20:26.259
 in Him

00:20:26.259 --> 00:20:27.500
 what was Paul's spirit

00:20:27.500 --> 00:20:28.579
 he didn't have

00:20:28.579 --> 00:20:29.299
 to worry

00:20:29.299 --> 00:20:30.439
 he was happy

00:20:30.439 --> 00:20:31.159
 to give

00:20:31.159 --> 00:20:32.079
 he was happy

00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:32.779
 to sacrifice

00:20:32.779 --> 00:20:33.740
 he was a living

00:20:33.740 --> 00:20:34.659
 testimony

00:20:34.659 --> 00:20:35.980
 of the great

00:20:35.980 --> 00:20:36.539
 and infinite

00:20:36.539 --> 00:20:37.399
 supply

00:20:37.399 --> 00:20:38.419
 of God

00:20:38.419 --> 00:20:39.119
 he had literally

00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:39.559
 given

00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:40.459
 everything

00:20:40.459 --> 00:20:41.539
 that at one point

00:20:41.539 --> 00:20:42.159
 was the focus

00:20:42.159 --> 00:20:42.779
 of his life

00:20:42.779 --> 00:20:43.500
 he had counted

00:20:43.500 --> 00:20:44.519
 it all loss

00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:45.519
 in order that

00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:46.240
 he could

00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:47.039
 pursue

00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:47.859
 Christ

00:20:47.859 --> 00:20:49.259
 and he had

00:20:49.259 --> 00:20:49.699
 learned

00:20:49.699 --> 00:20:50.579
 that God

00:20:50.579 --> 00:20:51.679
 always supplied

00:20:51.679 --> 00:20:52.259
 him with the

00:20:52.259 --> 00:20:52.779
 strength

00:20:52.779 --> 00:20:54.159
 and the resources

00:20:54.159 --> 00:20:54.899
 necessary

00:20:54.899 --> 00:20:55.699
 to accomplish

00:20:55.699 --> 00:20:57.079
 what is God's

00:20:57.079 --> 00:20:57.500
 purposes

00:20:57.500 --> 00:20:58.319
 for his life

00:20:58.319 --> 00:20:58.619
 and we

00:20:58.619 --> 00:20:59.319
 studied about

00:20:59.319 --> 00:20:59.959
 that in chapter

00:20:59.959 --> 00:21:01.199
 4 in verse 13

00:21:01.199 --> 00:21:02.240
 in that famous

00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:02.699
 verse

00:21:02.699 --> 00:21:03.759
 I can do all

00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:04.319
 things through

00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:04.779
 Christ

00:21:04.779 --> 00:21:06.119
 who strengthens

00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:06.779
 me

00:21:06.779 --> 00:21:07.939
 Christ has

00:21:07.939 --> 00:21:08.359
 called us

00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:08.819
 to give

00:21:08.819 --> 00:21:09.500
 how are we

00:21:09.500 --> 00:21:09.859
 going to do

00:21:09.859 --> 00:21:10.179
 that

00:21:10.179 --> 00:21:10.799
 well God

00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:11.500
 will supply

00:21:11.500 --> 00:21:13.199
 he will supply

00:21:13.199 --> 00:21:13.899
 the strength

00:21:13.899 --> 00:21:14.639
 to endure

00:21:14.639 --> 00:21:15.299
 whatever it is

00:21:15.299 --> 00:21:15.919
 that he calls

00:21:15.919 --> 00:21:16.359
 us to

00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:17.539
 in life

00:21:17.539 --> 00:21:19.539
 their gift

00:21:19.539 --> 00:21:20.740
 was an example

00:21:20.740 --> 00:21:21.220
 of God

00:21:21.220 --> 00:21:21.740
 continuing

00:21:21.740 --> 00:21:22.379
 to supply

00:21:22.379 --> 00:21:22.920
 his need

00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:23.819
 in prison

00:21:23.819 --> 00:21:25.200
 he could

00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:25.680
 declare

00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:26.379
 the blessing

00:21:26.379 --> 00:21:27.259
 of the divine

00:21:27.259 --> 00:21:27.799
 supply

00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:28.379
 because he

00:21:28.379 --> 00:21:29.119
 had experienced

00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:29.420
 it

00:21:29.420 --> 00:21:30.299
 first

00:21:30.299 --> 00:21:31.339
 hand

00:21:31.339 --> 00:21:32.779
 there's two

00:21:32.779 --> 00:21:33.500
 ways I think

00:21:33.500 --> 00:21:34.259
 that we can

00:21:34.259 --> 00:21:34.839
 even acknowledge

00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:35.720
 in this verse

00:21:35.720 --> 00:21:36.700
 that God

00:21:36.700 --> 00:21:37.659
 supplies all

00:21:37.659 --> 00:21:38.339
 of our needs

00:21:38.339 --> 00:21:39.700
 the first way

00:21:39.700 --> 00:21:40.039
 is through

00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:41.220
 temporal supply

00:21:41.220 --> 00:21:42.799
 temporal supply

00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:43.519
 look at the beginning

00:21:43.519 --> 00:21:44.180
 of verse 19

00:21:44.180 --> 00:21:44.619
 again

00:21:44.619 --> 00:21:45.720
 but my God

00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:46.460
 shall supply

00:21:46.460 --> 00:21:47.500
 all of your

00:21:47.500 --> 00:21:47.960
 need

00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:48.680
 according

00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:49.440
 to his

00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:50.279
 riches

00:21:50.279 --> 00:21:51.000
 and glory

00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:52.839
 and we

00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:53.160
 got to be

00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:53.480
 careful

00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:54.279
 to understand

00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:54.720
 what this

00:21:54.720 --> 00:21:55.240
 passage

00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:56.180
 isn't

00:21:56.180 --> 00:21:56.759
 saying

00:21:56.759 --> 00:21:58.940
 contrary

00:21:58.940 --> 00:21:59.980
 to the

00:21:59.980 --> 00:22:00.480
 prosperity

00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:01.079
 preachers

00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:01.599
 of the day

00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:02.720
 God

00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:03.160
 does not

00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:03.619
 promise

00:22:03.619 --> 00:22:04.200
 to supply

00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:04.440
 us

00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:04.920
 with everything

00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:05.420
 that we

00:22:05.420 --> 00:22:05.960
 want

00:22:05.960 --> 00:22:07.019
 so long

00:22:07.019 --> 00:22:07.440
 as we

00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:07.859
 give a

00:22:07.859 --> 00:22:08.079
 certain

00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:08.440
 amount

00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:08.859
 to any

00:22:08.859 --> 00:22:09.059
 given

00:22:09.059 --> 00:22:09.519
 church

00:22:09.519 --> 00:22:09.880
 or

00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:10.940
 ministry

00:22:10.940 --> 00:22:11.700
 that's

00:22:11.700 --> 00:22:12.039
 not what

00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:12.240
 he's

00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:12.500
 saying

00:22:12.500 --> 00:22:13.619
 he's

00:22:13.619 --> 00:22:13.779
 not

00:22:13.779 --> 00:22:14.039
 saying

00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:14.299
 that if

00:22:14.299 --> 00:22:14.420
 you

00:22:14.420 --> 00:22:14.839
 faithfully

00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:15.160
 put in

00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:15.519
 the offering

00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:15.759
 plate

00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:16.259
 every week

00:22:16.259 --> 00:22:16.559
 or if

00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:16.720
 you

00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:17.079
 send

00:22:17.079 --> 00:22:17.539
 a check

00:22:17.539 --> 00:22:17.859
 to this

00:22:17.859 --> 00:22:18.200
 guy

00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:19.079
 on TV

00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:19.519
 and he

00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:19.759
 sends

00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:20.319
 the handkerchief

00:22:20.319 --> 00:22:20.619
 back

00:22:20.619 --> 00:22:20.900
 or whatever

00:22:20.900 --> 00:22:21.240
 it is

00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:21.779
 he's not

00:22:21.779 --> 00:22:22.099
 saying that

00:22:22.099 --> 00:22:22.639
 just because

00:22:22.639 --> 00:22:23.039
 you give

00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:23.579
 means that

00:22:23.579 --> 00:22:23.980
 this whole

00:22:23.980 --> 00:22:24.319
 list of

00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:24.779
 things that

00:22:24.779 --> 00:22:25.319
 you want

00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:25.819
 in life

00:22:25.819 --> 00:22:26.420
 is all of a

00:22:26.420 --> 00:22:26.519
 sudden

00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:26.799
 going to be

00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:27.119
 provided

00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:27.799
 that's not

00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:28.359
 the promise

00:22:28.359 --> 00:22:28.639
 here

00:22:28.639 --> 00:22:29.900
 the promise

00:22:29.900 --> 00:22:30.259
 is that

00:22:30.259 --> 00:22:30.619
 he will

00:22:30.619 --> 00:22:31.019
 supply

00:22:31.019 --> 00:22:31.579
 all of

00:22:31.579 --> 00:22:31.940
 your

00:22:31.940 --> 00:22:32.839
 need

00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:33.319
 and we

00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:33.519
 got to

00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:33.920
 be careful

00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:34.299
 here to

00:22:34.299 --> 00:22:34.579
 remember

00:22:34.579 --> 00:22:34.940
 too

00:22:34.940 --> 00:22:36.259
 that the

00:22:36.259 --> 00:22:36.740
 law of

00:22:36.740 --> 00:22:37.019
 sowing

00:22:37.019 --> 00:22:37.579
 and reaping

00:22:37.579 --> 00:22:38.480
 still applies

00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:39.559
 even as

00:22:39.559 --> 00:22:40.019
 believers

00:22:40.019 --> 00:22:42.039
 sometimes

00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:42.720
 we can

00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:43.180
 just be

00:22:43.180 --> 00:22:43.420
 poor

00:22:43.420 --> 00:22:43.920
 stewards

00:22:43.920 --> 00:22:45.259
 and not

00:22:45.259 --> 00:22:45.579
 use very

00:22:45.579 --> 00:22:45.759
 much

00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:46.180
 wisdom

00:22:46.180 --> 00:22:47.420
 get a

00:22:47.420 --> 00:22:47.519
 little

00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:47.720
 too

00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:48.139
 excessive

00:22:48.139 --> 00:22:48.440
 with

00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:48.740
 the

00:22:48.740 --> 00:22:49.279
 credit

00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:49.619
 card

00:22:49.619 --> 00:22:49.920
 and not

00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:50.139
 be

00:22:50.139 --> 00:22:50.779
 diligent

00:22:50.779 --> 00:22:51.519
 to budget

00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:52.240
 and run

00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:52.680
 up a

00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:53.579
 sea full

00:22:53.579 --> 00:22:54.460
 of debt

00:22:54.460 --> 00:22:55.639
 and then

00:22:55.639 --> 00:22:55.980
 pray

00:22:55.980 --> 00:22:56.900
 verse 19

00:22:56.900 --> 00:22:58.279
 Lord supply

00:22:58.279 --> 00:22:58.700
 all my

00:22:58.700 --> 00:22:59.139
 need

00:22:59.139 --> 00:22:59.900
 it's not

00:22:59.900 --> 00:23:00.220
 that God

00:23:00.220 --> 00:23:00.759
 hasn't been

00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:01.220
 supplying

00:23:01.220 --> 00:23:01.599
 your need

00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:01.920
 it's that

00:23:01.920 --> 00:23:02.379
 you haven't

00:23:02.379 --> 00:23:02.700
 been

00:23:02.700 --> 00:23:03.539
 stewarding

00:23:03.539 --> 00:23:03.819
 well

00:23:03.819 --> 00:23:04.619
 his supply

00:23:04.619 --> 00:23:05.819
 and we

00:23:05.819 --> 00:23:06.379
 can't expect

00:23:06.379 --> 00:23:06.960
 that God

00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:07.339
 would just

00:23:07.339 --> 00:23:07.819
 erase

00:23:07.819 --> 00:23:08.259
 everything

00:23:08.259 --> 00:23:09.359
 that we've

00:23:09.359 --> 00:23:09.539
 done

00:23:09.539 --> 00:23:09.799
 and not

00:23:09.799 --> 00:23:10.279
 allow us

00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:10.579
 to face

00:23:10.579 --> 00:23:11.240
 the consequences

00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:11.539
 of that

00:23:11.539 --> 00:23:12.139
 that's not

00:23:12.139 --> 00:23:12.500
 what this

00:23:12.500 --> 00:23:12.980
 passage is

00:23:12.980 --> 00:23:13.180
 saying

00:23:13.180 --> 00:23:13.700
 what's it

00:23:13.700 --> 00:23:14.019
 saying

00:23:14.019 --> 00:23:15.000
 the promise

00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:15.359
 is that

00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:15.879
 those who

00:23:15.879 --> 00:23:16.500
 follow him

00:23:16.500 --> 00:23:16.980
 in faithful

00:23:16.980 --> 00:23:17.519
 obedience

00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:18.740
 will always

00:23:18.740 --> 00:23:19.180
 have what

00:23:19.180 --> 00:23:20.019
 they need

00:23:20.019 --> 00:23:20.879
 in accordance

00:23:20.879 --> 00:23:21.379
 with his

00:23:21.379 --> 00:23:22.480
 divine purpose

00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:23.119
 for their

00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:23.559
 life

00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:25.440
 could we

00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:25.879
 look at

00:23:25.879 --> 00:23:26.579
 Paul's life

00:23:26.579 --> 00:23:26.899
 and say

00:23:26.899 --> 00:23:27.339
 that he was

00:23:27.339 --> 00:23:27.980
 receiving all

00:23:27.980 --> 00:23:28.240
 that he

00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:28.680
 needs

00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:31.119
 from our

00:23:31.119 --> 00:23:31.539
 perspective

00:23:31.539 --> 00:23:31.920
 we would

00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:32.279
 say

00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:33.539
 no way

00:23:33.539 --> 00:23:35.059
 he spent

00:23:35.059 --> 00:23:35.759
 four years

00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:36.279
 in prison

00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:38.579
 for nothing

00:23:38.579 --> 00:23:40.279
 he hadn't

00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:40.419
 done

00:23:40.419 --> 00:23:40.659
 anything

00:23:40.659 --> 00:23:41.079
 wrong

00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:42.559
 he's

00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:42.740
 just

00:23:42.740 --> 00:23:43.139
 awaiting

00:23:43.139 --> 00:23:43.720
 a trial

00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:44.879
 to appear

00:23:44.879 --> 00:23:45.379
 before a

00:23:45.379 --> 00:23:45.720
 man that

00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:46.199
 historically

00:23:46.199 --> 00:23:46.699
 we know

00:23:46.699 --> 00:23:47.259
 to be one

00:23:47.259 --> 00:23:47.579
 of the most

00:23:47.579 --> 00:23:48.339
 hateful men

00:23:48.339 --> 00:23:49.159
 in regards

00:23:49.159 --> 00:23:49.839
 to Christianity

00:23:49.839 --> 00:23:50.599
 the Emperor

00:23:50.599 --> 00:23:51.299
 Nero of

00:23:51.299 --> 00:23:51.619
 Rome

00:23:51.619 --> 00:23:52.960
 we say

00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:53.279
 no what

00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:54.019
 Paul needs

00:23:54.019 --> 00:23:54.599
 is to be

00:23:54.599 --> 00:23:54.939
 able to get

00:23:54.939 --> 00:23:55.460
 out of prison

00:23:55.460 --> 00:23:56.139
 so he can

00:23:56.139 --> 00:23:56.679
 continue his

00:23:56.679 --> 00:23:56.960
 ministry

00:23:56.960 --> 00:23:57.460
 but Paul's

00:23:57.460 --> 00:23:57.899
 already dealt

00:23:57.899 --> 00:23:58.220
 with that

00:23:58.220 --> 00:23:58.480
 in this

00:23:58.480 --> 00:23:59.139
 book

00:23:59.139 --> 00:23:59.720
 in very

00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:00.279
 first chapter

00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:00.759
 he says

00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:01.579
 all of these

00:24:01.579 --> 00:24:01.919
 things that

00:24:01.919 --> 00:24:02.259
 have fallen

00:24:02.259 --> 00:24:02.679
 out to me

00:24:02.679 --> 00:24:03.000
 have been

00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:03.299
 for the

00:24:03.299 --> 00:24:03.720
 advancement

00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:04.019
 of the

00:24:04.019 --> 00:24:04.339
 gospel

00:24:04.339 --> 00:24:05.039
 what I

00:24:05.039 --> 00:24:05.460
 need

00:24:05.460 --> 00:24:05.799
 is for

00:24:05.799 --> 00:24:05.939
 God

00:24:05.939 --> 00:24:06.379
 to use

00:24:06.379 --> 00:24:06.919
 my life

00:24:06.919 --> 00:24:07.279
 not to

00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:07.500
 get out

00:24:07.500 --> 00:24:07.940
 of prison

00:24:07.940 --> 00:24:09.660
 God

00:24:09.660 --> 00:24:10.099
 supplied

00:24:10.099 --> 00:24:10.339
 that

00:24:10.339 --> 00:24:10.660
 need

00:24:10.660 --> 00:24:13.400
 Paul's

00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:13.500
 not

00:24:13.500 --> 00:24:13.640
 getting

00:24:13.640 --> 00:24:13.900
 everything

00:24:13.900 --> 00:24:14.079
 that

00:24:14.079 --> 00:24:14.180
 he

00:24:14.180 --> 00:24:14.500
 needs

00:24:14.500 --> 00:24:14.759
 he's

00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:15.460
 struggling

00:24:15.460 --> 00:24:15.900
 just to

00:24:15.900 --> 00:24:16.339
 make it

00:24:16.339 --> 00:24:16.700
 as far as

00:24:16.700 --> 00:24:17.099
 his food

00:24:17.099 --> 00:24:17.359
 and his

00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:17.680
 clothing

00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:18.099
 but here

00:24:18.099 --> 00:24:18.619
 walks in

00:24:18.619 --> 00:24:19.599
 Epaphroditus

00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:20.039
 and once

00:24:20.039 --> 00:24:20.599
 again God

00:24:20.599 --> 00:24:21.180
 has created

00:24:21.180 --> 00:24:21.819
 this supply

00:24:21.819 --> 00:24:22.680
 the promises

00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:23.259
 that God

00:24:23.259 --> 00:24:23.960
 will supply

00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:24.740
 all of

00:24:24.740 --> 00:24:25.200
 your need

00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:25.559
 according

00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:25.960
 to his

00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:26.319
 divine

00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:26.799
 purposes

00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:27.599
 for your

00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:27.960
 life

00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:28.640
 and that

00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:28.839
 should

00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:29.279
 bring us

00:24:29.279 --> 00:24:29.619
 great

00:24:29.619 --> 00:24:30.279
 joy

00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:30.940
 God's

00:24:30.940 --> 00:24:31.240
 promise

00:24:31.240 --> 00:24:31.599
 is not

00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:31.960
 to make

00:24:31.960 --> 00:24:32.099
 you

00:24:32.099 --> 00:24:32.420
 wealthy

00:24:32.420 --> 00:24:33.079
 though he

00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:33.380
 may

00:24:33.380 --> 00:24:33.900
 indeed

00:24:33.900 --> 00:24:34.339
 see fit

00:24:34.339 --> 00:24:34.740
 to make

00:24:34.740 --> 00:24:34.900
 you

00:24:34.900 --> 00:24:35.180
 wealthy

00:24:35.180 --> 00:24:36.119
 his promise

00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:36.460
 is that

00:24:36.460 --> 00:24:36.779
 he will

00:24:36.779 --> 00:24:37.160
 meet your

00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:37.480
 need

00:24:37.500 --> 00:24:38.000
 according

00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:38.420
 to his

00:24:38.420 --> 00:24:38.839
 purposes

00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:39.440
 in life

00:24:39.440 --> 00:24:41.099
 many

00:24:41.099 --> 00:24:41.460
 Christians

00:24:41.460 --> 00:24:41.880
 that don't

00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:42.259
 faithfully

00:24:42.259 --> 00:24:42.559
 give

00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:43.279
 as we

00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:43.420
 have

00:24:43.420 --> 00:24:43.779
 mentioned

00:24:43.779 --> 00:24:44.240
 neglect

00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:44.480
 the

00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:44.799
 command

00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:45.019
 out

00:24:45.019 --> 00:24:45.160
 of

00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:45.539
 fear

00:24:45.539 --> 00:24:46.480
 but

00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:46.759
 listen

00:24:46.759 --> 00:24:46.880
 to

00:24:46.880 --> 00:24:47.039
 these

00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:47.619
 reassuring

00:24:47.619 --> 00:24:48.140
 words

00:24:48.140 --> 00:24:48.759
 that

00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:49.099
 Jesus

00:24:49.099 --> 00:24:49.420
 said

00:24:49.420 --> 00:24:49.660
 on the

00:24:49.660 --> 00:24:49.940
 Sermon

00:24:49.940 --> 00:24:50.420
 on the

00:24:50.420 --> 00:24:50.700
 Mount

00:24:50.700 --> 00:24:51.619
 have you

00:24:51.619 --> 00:24:51.960
 ever seen

00:24:51.960 --> 00:24:52.420
 pictures

00:24:52.420 --> 00:24:52.900
 of

00:24:52.900 --> 00:24:53.539
 in Israel

00:24:53.539 --> 00:24:54.059
 where people

00:24:54.059 --> 00:24:54.440
 believe

00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:54.819
 that

00:24:54.819 --> 00:24:55.339
 Jesus

00:24:55.339 --> 00:24:55.740
 actually

00:24:55.740 --> 00:24:56.019
 preached

00:24:56.019 --> 00:24:56.259
 this

00:24:56.259 --> 00:24:56.640
 message

00:24:56.640 --> 00:24:57.740
 you can

00:24:57.740 --> 00:24:58.180
 google it

00:24:58.180 --> 00:24:58.519
 after the

00:24:58.519 --> 00:24:58.799
 service

00:24:58.799 --> 00:24:59.099
 today

00:24:59.099 --> 00:24:59.400
 and you'll

00:24:59.400 --> 00:24:59.799
 see

00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:00.220
 pictures

00:25:00.220 --> 00:25:00.460
 or

00:25:00.460 --> 00:25:01.900
 many of

00:25:01.900 --> 00:25:02.140
 you I'm

00:25:02.140 --> 00:25:02.319
 sure

00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:02.720
 have seen

00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:02.819
 them

00:25:02.819 --> 00:25:03.119
 before

00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:03.500
 it's

00:25:03.500 --> 00:25:03.680
 really

00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:03.980
 just a

00:25:03.980 --> 00:25:04.099
 big

00:25:04.099 --> 00:25:04.299
 open

00:25:04.299 --> 00:25:04.480
 field

00:33:32.339 --> 00:33:32.839
 worshipful

00:33:32.839 --> 00:33:33.559
 doxology

00:33:33.559 --> 00:33:35.519
 you can

00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:35.939
 imagine

00:33:35.939 --> 00:33:36.279
 maybe

00:33:36.279 --> 00:33:36.639
 as he's

00:33:36.639 --> 00:33:36.839
 sitting

00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:37.139
 there

00:33:37.139 --> 00:33:37.719
 perhaps

00:33:37.719 --> 00:33:38.219
 Timothy

00:33:38.219 --> 00:33:38.519
 or

00:33:38.519 --> 00:33:39.240
 Epaphroditus

00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:39.559
 or

00:33:39.559 --> 00:33:40.079
 someone

00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:40.459
 else

00:33:40.459 --> 00:33:40.859
 was

00:33:40.859 --> 00:33:41.679
 functioning

00:33:41.679 --> 00:33:42.059
 as

00:33:42.059 --> 00:33:42.379
 his

00:33:42.379 --> 00:33:43.119
 secretary

00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:43.539
 in that

00:33:43.539 --> 00:33:44.159
 moment

00:33:44.159 --> 00:33:44.519
 as he

00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:44.799
 would

00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:45.639
 dictate

00:33:45.639 --> 00:33:46.139
 and they

00:33:46.139 --> 00:33:46.339
 would

00:33:46.339 --> 00:33:46.959
 actually

00:33:46.959 --> 00:33:47.279
 write

00:33:47.279 --> 00:33:47.419
 it

00:33:47.419 --> 00:33:47.759
 down

00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:49.379
 you can

00:33:49.379 --> 00:33:49.740
 imagine

00:33:49.740 --> 00:33:50.119
 as he's

00:33:50.119 --> 00:33:50.439
 thinking

00:33:50.439 --> 00:33:50.759
 through

00:33:50.759 --> 00:33:51.059
 these

00:33:51.059 --> 00:33:51.579
 words

00:33:51.579 --> 00:33:53.139
 not

00:33:53.139 --> 00:33:53.319
 being

00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:53.859
 distracted

00:33:53.859 --> 00:33:54.240
 by the

00:33:54.240 --> 00:33:54.480
 actual

00:33:54.480 --> 00:33:54.899
 writing

00:33:54.899 --> 00:33:55.099
 of

00:33:55.099 --> 00:33:55.259
 them

00:33:55.259 --> 00:33:56.619
 and

00:33:56.619 --> 00:33:56.740
 he

00:33:56.740 --> 00:33:56.939
 thinks

00:33:56.939 --> 00:33:57.179
 back

00:33:57.179 --> 00:33:57.299
 to

00:33:57.299 --> 00:33:57.439
 the

00:33:57.439 --> 00:33:57.960
 contentment

00:33:57.960 --> 00:33:58.139
 that

00:33:58.139 --> 00:33:58.240
 he

00:33:58.240 --> 00:33:58.720
 feels

00:33:58.720 --> 00:33:58.919
 and

00:33:58.919 --> 00:33:59.199
 how

00:33:59.199 --> 00:33:59.799
 joyful

00:33:59.799 --> 00:34:00.059
 it

00:34:00.059 --> 00:34:00.359
 was

00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:00.500
 when

00:34:00.500 --> 00:34:01.139
 Epaphroditus

00:34:01.139 --> 00:34:01.399
 comes

00:34:01.399 --> 00:34:01.559
 in

00:34:01.559 --> 00:34:01.659
 and

00:34:01.659 --> 00:34:01.759
 then

00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:01.879
 he

00:34:01.879 --> 00:34:02.099
 thinks

00:34:02.099 --> 00:34:02.379
 through

00:34:02.379 --> 00:34:02.779
 the

00:34:02.779 --> 00:34:03.419
 wonderful

00:34:03.419 --> 00:34:03.899
 fruit

00:34:03.899 --> 00:34:04.099
 that

00:34:04.099 --> 00:34:04.220
 will

00:34:04.220 --> 00:34:04.339
 be

00:34:04.339 --> 00:34:04.659
 applied

00:34:04.659 --> 00:34:04.819
 to

00:34:04.819 --> 00:34:04.939
 the

00:34:04.939 --> 00:34:05.339
 Philippians

00:34:05.339 --> 00:34:05.799
 account

00:34:05.799 --> 00:34:06.359
 which

00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:06.500
 was

00:34:06.500 --> 00:34:06.699
 really

00:34:06.699 --> 00:34:06.879
 the

00:34:06.879 --> 00:34:07.199
 desire

00:34:07.199 --> 00:34:07.359
 of

00:34:07.359 --> 00:34:07.460
 his

00:34:07.460 --> 00:34:07.720
 heart

00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:08.219
 and

00:34:08.219 --> 00:34:08.619
 he

00:34:08.619 --> 00:34:08.880
 gets

00:34:08.880 --> 00:34:09.279
 excited

00:34:09.279 --> 00:34:09.500
 about

00:34:09.500 --> 00:34:09.799
 that

00:34:09.799 --> 00:34:09.960
 and

00:34:09.960 --> 00:34:10.079
 then

00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:10.219
 he

00:34:10.219 --> 00:34:10.840
 thinks

00:34:10.840 --> 00:34:11.159
 about

00:34:11.159 --> 00:34:11.759
 the

00:34:11.759 --> 00:34:12.179
 sacrifice

00:34:12.179 --> 00:34:12.480
 that

00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:12.619
 they

00:34:12.619 --> 00:34:12.799
 had

00:34:12.799 --> 00:34:13.039
 made

00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:13.199
 for

00:34:13.199 --> 00:34:13.420
 that

00:34:13.420 --> 00:34:13.559
 and

00:34:13.559 --> 00:34:13.659
 he

00:34:21.579 --> 00:34:21.940
 reflected

00:34:21.940 --> 00:34:22.179
 on

00:34:22.179 --> 00:34:22.559
 the

00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:22.759
 Old

00:34:22.759 --> 00:34:23.119
 Testament

00:34:23.119 --> 00:34:23.799
 sacrifices

00:34:23.799 --> 00:34:24.039
 and

00:34:24.039 --> 00:34:24.340
 the

00:34:24.340 --> 00:34:24.719
 aroma

00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:24.900
 of

00:34:24.900 --> 00:34:25.079
 that

00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:25.340
 burnt

00:34:25.340 --> 00:34:25.719
 offering

00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:25.900
 and

00:34:25.900 --> 00:34:26.000
 then

00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:26.099
 he

00:34:26.099 --> 00:34:26.480
 gets

00:34:26.480 --> 00:34:26.599
 to

00:34:26.599 --> 00:34:26.759
 this

00:34:26.759 --> 00:34:27.019
 point

00:34:27.019 --> 00:34:27.199
 where

00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:27.340
 he

00:34:27.340 --> 00:34:27.739
 really

00:34:27.739 --> 00:34:27.920
 is

00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:28.119
 trying

00:34:28.119 --> 00:34:28.259
 to

00:34:28.259 --> 00:34:28.559
 encourage

00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:28.779
 the

00:34:28.779 --> 00:34:29.239
 Philippians

00:34:29.239 --> 00:34:29.440
 but

00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:30.019
 probably

00:34:30.019 --> 00:34:30.500
 encourages

00:34:30.500 --> 00:34:31.039
 himself

00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:31.219
 at

00:34:31.219 --> 00:34:31.340
 the

00:34:31.340 --> 00:34:31.500
 same

00:34:31.500 --> 00:34:31.739
 time

00:34:31.739 --> 00:34:31.980
 by saying

00:34:31.980 --> 00:34:32.259
 God's

00:34:32.259 --> 00:34:32.460
 going to

00:34:32.460 --> 00:34:32.960
 supply

00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:33.179
 all

00:34:33.179 --> 00:34:33.299
 of

00:34:33.299 --> 00:34:33.380
 your

00:34:33.380 --> 00:34:33.539
 need

00:34:33.539 --> 00:34:33.659
 I

00:34:33.659 --> 00:34:33.860
 know

00:34:33.860 --> 00:34:33.980
 it

00:34:33.980 --> 00:34:34.099
 he

00:34:34.099 --> 00:34:34.239
 will

00:34:34.239 --> 00:34:34.539
 supply

00:34:34.539 --> 00:34:34.739
 every

00:34:34.739 --> 00:34:35.139
 all

00:34:35.139 --> 00:34:35.360
 you

00:34:35.360 --> 00:34:35.639
 need

00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:36.159
 is

00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:36.519
 Jesus

00:34:36.519 --> 00:34:36.739
 and

00:34:36.739 --> 00:34:36.860
 then

00:34:36.860 --> 00:34:36.980
 it

00:34:36.980 --> 00:34:37.460
 burst

00:34:37.460 --> 00:34:37.679
 in

00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:37.900
 verse

00:34:37.900 --> 00:34:38.179
 20

00:34:38.179 --> 00:34:38.360
 into

00:34:38.360 --> 00:34:38.559
 this

00:34:38.559 --> 00:34:39.239
 doxology

00:34:39.239 --> 00:34:39.799
 now

00:34:39.799 --> 00:34:40.319
 be

00:34:40.319 --> 00:34:40.880
 glory

00:34:40.880 --> 00:34:41.420
 to

00:34:41.420 --> 00:34:41.880
 God

00:34:51.579 --> 00:34:52.239
 evermore

00:34:52.239 --> 00:34:52.739
 to

00:34:52.739 --> 00:34:53.079
 him

00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:53.480
 when

00:34:53.480 --> 00:34:53.719
 the

00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:54.039
 race

00:34:54.039 --> 00:34:54.239
 is

00:34:54.239 --> 00:34:54.719
 complete

00:34:54.719 --> 00:34:55.480
 still

00:34:55.480 --> 00:34:55.860
 my

00:34:55.860 --> 00:34:56.219
 lips

00:34:56.219 --> 00:34:56.659
 shall

00:34:56.659 --> 00:34:57.360
 repeat

00:34:57.360 --> 00:34:58.139
 yet

00:34:58.139 --> 00:34:58.500
 not

00:34:58.500 --> 00:34:58.840
 I

00:34:58.840 --> 00:34:59.579
 but

00:34:59.579 --> 00:34:59.819
 through

00:34:59.819 --> 00:35:00.319
 Christ

00:35:00.319 --> 00:35:01.159
 in

00:35:01.159 --> 00:35:01.440
 me

00:35:01.440 --> 00:35:02.139
 that's

00:35:02.139 --> 00:35:02.279
 the

00:35:02.279 --> 00:35:03.000
 doxology

00:35:03.000 --> 00:35:04.500
 that Paul

00:35:04.500 --> 00:35:04.940
 echoes

00:35:04.940 --> 00:35:05.279
 here

00:35:05.279 --> 00:35:06.299
 our

00:35:06.299 --> 00:35:06.699
 entire

00:35:06.699 --> 00:35:07.219
 existence

00:35:07.219 --> 00:35:08.039
 is contained

00:35:08.039 --> 00:35:08.340
 within

00:35:08.340 --> 00:35:08.659
 this

00:35:08.659 --> 00:35:09.259
 doxology

00:35:09.259 --> 00:35:10.900
 we

00:35:10.900 --> 00:35:11.539
 exist

00:35:11.539 --> 00:35:12.659
 to

00:35:12.659 --> 00:35:12.920
 bring

 God

00:35:13.179 --> 00:35:13.739
 glory

00:35:13.739 --> 00:35:14.679
 and

00:35:14.679 --> 00:35:14.900
 that's

00:35:14.900 --> 00:35:15.259
 exactly

00:35:15.259 --> 00:35:15.559
 why

00:35:15.559 --> 00:35:15.759
 we

00:35:15.759 --> 00:35:16.039
 should

00:35:16.039 --> 00:35:16.500
 give

00:35:16.500 --> 00:35:19.119
 we

00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:19.599
 express

00:35:19.599 --> 00:35:19.799
 our

00:35:19.799 --> 00:35:20.119
 praise

00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:20.279
 to

00:35:20.279 --> 00:35:20.480
 God

00:35:20.480 --> 00:35:20.759
 upon

00:35:20.759 --> 00:35:20.940
 the

00:35:20.940 --> 00:35:21.340
 receipt

00:35:21.340 --> 00:35:21.579
 of

00:35:21.579 --> 00:35:21.740
 his

00:35:21.740 --> 00:35:22.220
 provision

00:35:22.220 --> 00:35:23.880
 we

00:35:23.880 --> 00:35:24.120
 also

00:35:24.120 --> 00:35:24.539
 express

00:35:24.539 --> 00:35:24.780
 our

00:35:24.780 --> 00:35:25.059
 praise

00:35:25.059 --> 00:35:25.220
 to

00:35:25.220 --> 00:35:25.440
 God

00:35:25.440 --> 00:35:25.620
 when

00:35:25.620 --> 00:35:25.800
 we

00:35:25.800 --> 00:35:25.900
 are

00:35:25.900 --> 00:35:26.079
 the
