1. Philippians 2:19-30 (ESV)
19 I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be cheered by news of you. 20 For I have no one like him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare. 21 For they all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. 22 But you know Timothy's proven worth, how as a son with a father he has served with me in the gospel.

2. Philippians 2:19-30 (ESV)
23 I hope therefore to send him just as soon as I see how it will go with me, 24 and I trust in the Lord that shortly I myself will come also. 25 I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need,

3. Philippians 2:19-30 (ESV)
 26 for he has been longing for you all and has been distressed because you heard that he was ill. 27 Indeed he was ill, near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. 28 I am the more eager to send him, therefore, that you may rejoice at seeing him again, and that I may be less anxious.

4. Philippians 2:19-30 (ESV)
29 So receive him in the Lord with all joy, and honor such men, 30 for he nearly died for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was lacking in your service to me.

7. Introduction

8. Main Idea
God shows that we are all His heroes that find strength in His power 

9. Outline
I. The Example of Timothy (Phil 2:19-24) II. The Example of Epaphroditus (Phil 2:25-30) III. The Example of Unsung Heroes (Rom.16:21-23)

10. I. The Example of Timothy
20 For I have no one like him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare. 21 For they all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. 22 But you know Timothy's proven worth, how as a son with a father he has served with me in the gospel.

11. I. The Example of Timothy
Like minded in God (vs 20) - genuinely concerned for your welfare. 
Seeks the interest of Jesus (vs21)
-they all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.
Perseveres and reliable (vs 22)
- you know Timothy's proven worth, how as a son with a father he has served with me in the gospel.

12. II. The Example of Epaphroditus
Philippians 2:25-30 Vs 25 - my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier Vs 30 - nearly died for the work of Christ

13. III. The Example of Unsung Heroes
Romans 16: Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you; so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen. 22 I Tertius, who wrote this letter, greet you in the Lord. 23 Gaius, who is host to me and to the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the city treasurer, and our brother Quartus, greet you.

14. III. The Example of Unsung Heroes
