For the next 8 weeks, we are digging into the book of Philippians. The past Sunday, we discussed the relationship between Paul and the Philippians as a model for us as Christians. I had each student turn to the person to their right and test how much they really know about that person. Questions such as:
1.) Do you know how many brothers and sisters they have?
2.) Do you know when they accepted Christ?
3.) Do you know what they are struggling with now?
Asking these questions could be hard and it's uncomfortable to realize we care so little some times, but like Paul and the Philippians, we should all have a passion for one another that leads us to pray for, know about, and love actively our brothers and sisters in Christ out.
We need to understand the deep relational connection between Paul and the Philippians and realize he wasn't writing a book to people he barely knew. The relationships we form are a big part of living out our relationship with Christ.
