Midweek Meeting March 4 2015

A good number gathered last night for prayer and further studies in Philippians 2. We looked at verses 16b-18 and the rewards and demands of the Christian ministry. I always feel a little awkward when we come to these sort of verses. Paul was very frank, however. Perhaps it is a failure to think biblically about judgement and other matters that is the problem. My two main points were

1. Christian ministry has its reward – future boasting but it demands great effort

2. Christian ministry demands great sacrifice but it has its reward – present gladness and joy
