PAUL'S PRAYER: Philippians 1:8-11

Philippians 1:8-11

June 14, 2020 • Brett Baggett

OUTLINE

I. The Basics of our Sanctification (v.8-10)

II. The Fruit of our Sanctification (v.11a)

III. The Source of our Sanctification (v.11b)

IV. The Goal of our Sanctification (v.11c)

DISCUSSION

I. What does Paul pray for according to verse 9? What do these words mean? Is this like or different than typical prayer requests you have witnessed? How can you better pray like the Holy Spirit guides us to in the Bible rather than how our flesh would guide us to?

II. What does Paul desire to come about from answered prayer, according to verse 10? *hint: notice the words “so that.” What do these words mean in verse 10? What is “the day of Christ”?

III. According to verse 11, what does Paul desire the Philippians to be filled with? What does he mean? How can Galatians 5:22-24 help clarify? Where does this “fruit of righteousness” come from? Why does it come through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone, according to the last part of verse 11?
