NEW FRIENDSHIPS

Philippians 2:19-30

PHILIPPIANS 2:19-30
19 I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I receive news about you. 20 I have no one else like him, who will show genuine concern for your welfare. 21 For everyone looks out for their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. 22 But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel. ...

23 I hope, therefore, to send him as soon as I see how things go with me. 24 And I am confident in the Lord that I myself will come soon. 25 But I think it is necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, co-worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger, whom you sent to take care of my needs. 26 For he longs for all of you and is distressed because you heard he was ill. ...

LEADER: This is the Word of the Lord

PEOPLE: THANKS BE TO GOD

27 Indeed he was ill, and almost died. But God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow. 28 Therefore I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you may be glad and I may have less anxiety. 29 So then, welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor people like him, 30 because he almost died for the work of Christ. He risked his life to make up for the help you yourselves could not give me.

Philippians 2:19-30

"Sanskrit, the language that is the basis of most East Indian tongues, has 96 terms for love. Ancient Persian has 80. Greek has four. And we have only one. ...

"This is prime evidence that feelings and relationships are the inferior functions of our society. Lack of language for any subject means lack of interest in that area. We build wonderful 747 jet airplanes and atomic generators, but we build very poor relationships."

"There are now fewer intimate social relationships than at any other time in modern history. As a consequence, unfamiliarity, suspicion, distrust, and loneliness are on the rise."
- John Lock
