Overflowing Love

Wednesday Night I preached a sermon based on the prayer of Paul recorded in Philippians 1:8-11. This was my outline.

1. Affection of Christ (8)

8 For God is my witness, how greatly I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ.

2. Abundance of Caution (9)

9 And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment,

3. Awareness of Consequences (10a)

10 that you may approve the things that are excellent,

4. Authenticity of Character (10b)

that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ,

5. Actions of Compassion (11a)

being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ,

6. Assignment of Credit (11b)

to the glory and praise of God.
