Philippians – Receiving Grace, Living For Jesus
[Philippians 1:1-11 ESV] 1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and deacons: 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, 4 always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. 6 And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. 7 It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel. 8 For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. 9 And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, 10 so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Call to Worship – Psalm 33:1-5
1 Shout for joy in the LORD,
O you righteous!
Praise befits the upright.
2 Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre;
make melody to him
with the harp of ten strings!
3 Sing to him a new song;
play skillfully on the strings,
with loud shouts.
4 For the word of the LORD is upright,
and all his work is done in faithfulness.
5 He loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of the steadfast love
of the LORD.
O you righteous!
Praise befits the upright.

and all his work is done in faithfulness.

of the LORD.
