A Loving Heart | Philippians 1:7-11

Summary
What does real, biblical love look like? In this second study through Philippians, Pastor Steve looks at Paul's deep affection for the church at Philippi (1:7-8), expressed in his heart for them, their shared partnership in grace, and his longing for them with the very affection of Jesus Christ. From there, Paul moves to prayer — showing that if we truly love someone, we will pray for them (1:9-11). His prayer becomes a model for us to follow, asking that believers would grow in love, excellence, integrity, and good works, all to the glory and praise of God.

May the Lord bless His Word to our hearts today!
