Sermon Notes

Never let Defeat Stop Your Gospel Work!

  • The Gospel Advanced Through Paul’s Imprisonment (verses 12-14)
    • When Paul was imprisoned it gave him Gospel access to different people
    • Paul’s imprisonment inspired many others to boldly advance the Gospel
  • The Gospel Advanced Through Church Rivalries and Conflicts (verses 15-18a)
    • Paul’s imprisonment got people in the church preaching from bad motives
    • Paul rejoices anyway because the Gospel was getting proclaimed!
  • Never Let Defeat Stop Your Gospel Work!
    • The Gospel is truly about God’s ultimate victory through obvious defeat (not in spite of it)
    • Don’t give up in the face of defeat – advance the Gospel
