I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.” (Luke 12:16-18) GREETINGS AND THANKS Salutation - As usual, Paul follows the conventional letter format - Identification of sender, identification of recipients, then greetings - Timothy is identified as an associate but not a co-writer - Saints, overseers and deacons - This is the only place where church officers as a group are singled out Thanks for you - “I thank my God every time I remember you.” - Partnership in the Gospel - From the first day until now Completing the work - Paul is confident of God’s progressing work - God will complete the work He began in us - This will go on until we meet Him again Sharing in God’s grace - The Philippian people were in his heart - They had a part of what he did for the Gospel - He longs for them with affection Prayer for growth and righteousness - Growth in love may abound in knowledge and dept of insight - Discernment (what is best, pure, and blameless) - Fruit of righteousness from Jesus

Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry."'20 "But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?‘ (Luke 12:19-20)
