Paul and Timothy Servants of Christ.

It was celebration him 750 and we going to be doing versus 1 2 and 3.

I got.

I've got joy like a.

You man, you may be seated this morning.

I invite you to turn to Philippians chapter 1.

The passage was just read moments ago, there's a Bible in front of you or you brought your own Bible, maybe half of that on electronic device.

Whatever the case Philippians chapter 1, verses 1 through 11 is our Focus today.

I want to start at a new series in the Epistle of the Philippians often.

The the Epistle of Philippians is called the Epistle of Joy or the letter of joy.

Out of all the New Testament scriptures, this one speaks Joy multiple times all the way through the book and every chapter there's something connected to Joy or rejoicing that type of thinking.

So, We're going to dive into this pretty quick, and and see what the Lord would have for us as we go through this book together.

Well, let's jump in there, right away versus one and to give us the basically the informative, greeting and informative, greeting, Paul, and Timothy Bond, Servants of Christ.

Jesus says to all the saints and in Christ, Jesus, who are in Philippi including the overseers and deacons who wrote the book.

We know, Paul Paul, the Apostle wrote it to Timothy was was with them.

Maybe he was the one that was jotting down.

Paul's words, that's certainly a possibility, but Timothy was a very close associate of Paul and it's like, anytime he would send Timothy out.

It was like sending his own heart, his own passion out to a church, to help them out.

And so far.

I saw the Philippian church was started by the Apostle.

Paul, he wrote this letter from prison, he was in prison for a couple years.

This would be his first imprisonment.

This is an imprisonment where he's there for two years and then he has gospel.

If you will defense of the Gospel before seizure, but he's waiting for that and now and then there will be another Roman imprisonment later on, in his ministry, which he actually loses his life at the end of that, under the reigning emperor of narrow.

But here it's around 60 to 80. It's about a decade after the Philippian church was planted.

The Philippian Church Shadows that were connected to it.

Where the first thought in the European continent that were connected to the face and it was the Apostle Paul and Silas.

And Timothy was a part of that team as well.

That went there to Phillipi and ended up sharing the gospel.

And there were multiple people that came to Christ.

We know Lydia who was originally she was there.

I heard some ladies down towards the the Waterfront got to hear the gospel.

The Lord open up her heart.

She trusted Christ.

As his savior, they were there to worship God but they ended up coming to know the Lord that in a very personal way there and fell apart by.

There's multiple people in Phillipi that Are worth mentioning as we go through our Sherry's together.

But as far as the writer it's Paul it's a it's the one the most personal letter to a church.

He has a personal letter to Philemon that and we looked at that back in the summer and that would have been written in the same time.

As of the Philippian the letter to the Philippians.

But this is a most personal letter to a church.

He expresses his emotions expresses, his, his heart, his desire, his thinking, and so forth.

And so on, obviously all under the influence and guidance of the holy spirit because he's our God inspired words.

That's why we have them in our Bible.

But what else do we know?

He says Identify himself and Timothy Bond Servants of Christ.

Jesus.

They have given up their their rights, are their living for the Lord.

Their living for the cause of Christ their living for the gospel.

Say,

A person that was a bond servant back in the Old Testament, they would have their ear pierced at the doorpost of a home.

So he would, he's saying to the to the master, you owe me for life.

I'm here to serve you and and so far.

So he sees himself and sees Timothy as Bond Servants of the cause of Christ.

In, for the purpose of the person of Christ, the recipient, the Philippian Church, notice what he says, and how he tries?

He says, to all the saints that some of us depending on our background thankful, that's some special person that gets sainthood that gets some kind of y'all their Saints, Ellen.

So but the way it's used in the New Testament from the Bible, is a saying is a Holy One?

Or is it one?
