THE MANNER OF LIFE
A STUDY OF PHILIPPIANS
Our Behavior in Christ

THE MANNER OF LIFE – Our Behavior in Christ
This morning’s message centers on Philippians 1:27, which reads, “Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
The word “manner” means behavior, conduct, or one’s walk. In other words, our lives should be balanced with our relationship to Jesus.
The impact our life in Jesus can have within our church and world should be tremendous. The impact our life in Jesus has can be powerful. Paul stresses the importance and responsibility we have to live this daily.
He encourages us to stand strong in the Lord, to hold our ground, and to not be frightened. He encourages us to strive as one team for the faith of the gospel. This becomes a powerful sign to others about a relationship with Jesus.
I pray this talk and series in Philippians will encourage your faith and have a tremendous impact on our church.
Please bring your Bible as we study this book together. Enjoy this morning’s worship service.
Encouraging One Another,
Pastor Mike
Key Scripture: Philippians 1:27-30
Life Worthy of the Gospel
27 Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firmin the one Spirit,[a] striving together as one for the faith of the gospel 28 without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God. 29 For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him, 30 since you are going through the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.
