Philippians 1:5 Lesson 1 Presented by Pastor Jim Oliver http://home.comcast.net/~jimoliverministries/

Scripture Reading “Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, He will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God’s people, but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanksgiving to God.” 2 Corinthians 9:10-12 “But just as you excel in everything in faith-rest and in doctrine and in knowledge and in all diligence of application and in love from you to us, you also excel in this grace giving.” 2 Corinthians 8:7 “Each person, to the degree he has determined by means of his thinking, so give. Not from distress of mind or compulsion of emotions; for God loves a grace-oriented giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed.” 2 Corinthians 9:7-8

Philippians 1:5 “Be filled with the Spirit…” Ephesians 5:18 Name your sins to God the Father.
