“Case Studies in Christlikeness” – Phil 2:19-30
Questions for Discussion & Reflection
- Give Philippians 2 a full read through to get a sense of a thought flow and progression of Paul’s argument. What stands out to you?
- What role the final passage (vv 19-30) have in the argument of the whole chapter?
- How does Paul describe Timothy? What does he commend about his example? How might this aspect of his character reinforce Paul’s teaching in this chapter?
- How does Paul describe Epaphroditus? What does he commend about his example? How might this aspect of his character reinforce Paul’s teaching in this chapter?
- Reconsider the reflection questions from the examples of Timothy and Epaphroditus from Sunday’s sermon. Invite the Spirit to examine your heart and guide you in the path of Christ.
- Timothy: Do I show genuine concern for the well-being of others?
- Epaphroditus: Am I willing to risk personal well-being for the work of Christ?
