STIMULATE

** As we began our study together last week, we noted the single most effective method of teaching; that which also proved to have the longest lasting impact upon those who are taught. Do you recall that method of teaching?

It was "Teaching by Example".

** Who were the three individuals from Scripture that we saw to be great examples for us to pattern our own lives after?

The apostle Paul, Timothy and Epaphroditus.

** Hopefully we have been aware of the godly pattern we have observed in the lives of others around us; either from Scripture or from the lives of brothers and sisters in Christ who share their hearts and ministry with us.

We need to be "Repeating the Pattern" of godliness; not only because it is the way we should live, but also as a pattern setter for others. cf. 1Corinthians 11:1

MOTIVATE

** Over the next three weeks together for us in our study of God's Word, the apostle Paul will close out his letter to the Philippians and will be instructing us on three specific areas in the life of a Christian. We are going to be blessed as we learn from Paul about:

LIVING IN HARMONY - Philippians 4:1-7
LEARNING TO BE CONTENT - Philippians 4:8-13
LOVING TO SHARE - Philippians 4:14-23

As we strive to represent Christ in this world, what area of our corporate lives is Satan most likely to
attack?

Our unity - he exists to cause division!
