Sermon Notes

Philippians 1:1-2
Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and deacons: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I. Listen and Submit to the Spirit (Acts 16:6–10)

II. Disciple-Making Encounters (Acts 16:11–34)

When you get the gospel, you get joy.
When you focus on the gospel, you get unity.

Next Steps

  • I confess my sin and turn to Jesus as King for the first time.
  • I choose to be present in the moment and lean into the Spirit’s voice.
  • I commit to share the Gospel this week with _________________.
