Scripture Passage: Philippians 1:12-14
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Are you trying to face your hard times alone? Yes, we should ALWAYS rely on God, but have you sought help from others? Why not?
As Christians, our decisions will be different than others. Pastor Steven says this: “Our focus is not meant to be representative of our circumstances.”
How can you stay focused?

3. Exist in community
STAY FOCUSED BY SHARING THE GOSPEL
How is the world going to know Jesus if we don’t tell them? Pastor Steven says this: “Don’t allow someone’s lack of faith or other religion stop you from sharing the Gospel. Not everyone will agree with you but that shouldn’t stop you from trying.”

CFBC. Trent is homeless, but someone took time to focus on him! Did Paul view his imprisonment as an opportunity to share the Gospel?

Not only was that woman saved through her testimony, her neighbor’s son was saved as well! But wait! The story gets even better. Listen to hear the rest of this amazing salvation story!!!

Questions/Issues Discussed:
Tim Keller, pastor and author, was once asked this question: “What would you tell your 18 year old self?” Listen to find out what he said!!
Why is trust and dependence on the Holy Spirit important?
Pastor Steven makes a great observation from Philippians 1:19. Paul isn’t just saying
“this will turn out for my deliverance.” He is actually quoting Scripture! Reference: Job 13:16
He also makes a confession: He had horrible nightmares as a child. His parents encouraged him to memorize Scripture to help him when he was afraid. One verse was Psalm 56:3.
MEMORIZE SCRIPTURE
Have you memorized Scripture? If not, why not? You memorize songs and sports stats… Why not Scripture? Isn’t that more important?
