Philippians 4 Peace With People (1-3) With God (4-9) With All Situations (10- 20)

I. Peace with people sometimes requires a peacemaker (4:1-3).

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stay true to the Lord. I love you and long to see you, dear friends, for you are my joy and the crown I receive for my work.

4:2-3 NLT 3 And I ask you, my true partner, to help these two women, for they worked hard with me in telling others the Good News. They worked along with Clement and the rest of my co- workers, whose names are written in the Book of Life. 2 Now I appeal to Euodia and Syntyche. Please, because you belong to the Lord, settle your disagreement.

What's in a Name? EuodiaSyntyche “prosperous journey” “pleasant acquaintance”

4:2-3 NLT 3 And I ask you, my true partner, to help these two women, for they worked hard with me in telling others the Good News. They worked along with Clement and the rest of my co- workers, whose names are written in the Book of Life. 2 Now I appeal to Euodia and Syntyche. Please, because you belong to the Lord, settle your disagreement.

Human Struggles are Spiritual Battles at Their Core

Sometimes God may call on us to lead other believers to unity.

II. Peace with God comes from mimicking Christ's attitude in 4 ways (4:4-9).

Philippians 4:4-7 NLT 4 Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! 5 Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon. 6 Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

4:9 NLT 9 Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.

Rejoice!
