Text: Philippians 1:1-30
 
Introductory remarks: I’ve run into many people who are resistant to even talk about Spiritual authority and leading and following, simply because they just don’t want anyone telling them what to do, so they resist even the concept/ philosophy of Spiritual authority and submission and leading and following. Take note: The easiest way to get lost – really lost! – is to not know where you’re going in the first place. I’m exploring confidence today, as I’m both a follower and a leader. Come with me and let’s . . .

Confidence is the practical, daily-life application of faith

1. Locate your confidence –
 

a. Confidence in God –
 

b. Confidence in Godly offices –
 

c. Confidence in the saints – all of us are saints – holy ones.
 

2. Recognize the benefit – v. 3 – 20
 

3. Differentiate Godly priorities – v. 21 – 26
 

4. Throw down the challenge – v. 27 – 30
 

For further study, application and discussion: What have you heard the Holy Spirit saying to you today and what are you going to do about it?
