Sermon Highlights
Philippians 2:19-30
Like Timothy…
Let's sincerely care for others.
Let's serve God.
And let's raise our children and grandchildren in the Christian faith (like Timothy was).
Like Epaphoditus…
Let's give of ourselves.
Let's develop a burden for our church and for our community.
And let's thank others for the work that they do.
