Workplace Relationships (vs 1-2) What we do and how we work is itself a testimony to the Lord and is an opportunity for us to glorify God in the workplace.
Workplace Relationships (vs 1-2) Outsiders must not blame God or the Church for the wrong behavior of Christians in the workplace.
Words of Truth (vs 3-5) "wholesome words" (truthful words or words of truth) the words of our Lord Jesus Christ teaching that is aligned to godliness
Words of Truth (vs 3-5) You can be godly and have money. You can be godly and make money. But you must not use godliness - our walk of faith - as a means to make money for yourself.
Godliness with contentment (vs 6-10) Contentment is simply being satisfied with what we have
Godliness with contentment (vs 6-10) Philippians 4:11-13 11 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: 12 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Godliness with contentment (vs 6-10) The love of money (greediness, desire to be rich) can give birth to all kinds of evil
The Life of a man of God (vs 11-16) It is so important for a minister of God, and also all of us believers, to guard ourselves from the 'love of money' and such things.
Responsibilities of the Rich (vs 17-19) do good, be generous
Responsibilities of the Rich (vs 17-19) Philippians 4:17-19 17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account. 18 Indeed I have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God. 19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
