Security
^{Philippians 4:15-19}

Read The LARGE PRINT!

A wise man doesn’t take every guarantee at face value –
He reads the fine print!

A wise man doesn’t take all of God’s promises at face value –
He reads the LARGE PRINT!

The Passage & The Promise: 
    ^{Philippians 4:15-19}

Remember the “Over-the-Shoulder Principle.”
 

A real letter to real people.

Notice that the Philippians had. . .

 generously supported Paul’s ministry

 from the beginning

 over the long haul

And BECAUSE OF THAT. . .

 God would meet all of their needs.

The Promise:

 Needs not wants.

 In “accordance with” – not just “out of” God’s riches!

The LARGE PRINT:

 If we want Philippian-like security –
    we need Philippian-like generosity!

1) Off the top. 
     ^{Philippians 4:15 Proverbs 3:9-10 Malachi 3:8-11
     Haggai 1:2-12 &  2:15-19}

 2) Over the long haul.
     ^{Philippians 4:16  2 Corinthians 11:9 Corinthians 9:6-11 
     & 1 Corinthians 16:1-2}

3) Sacrificially.
      ^{2 Corinthians 8:1-5   2 Samuel 24:18-25}
