SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
February 26, 2023
9:00 AM

Proclaiming Christ
Background: PHILIPPIANS 1:12-30
Devotional Reading: PSALM 119:169-176


Keep in Mind
"What then? Notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth. Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice” (Philippians 1:18, KJV)

Aim for Change
By the end of the lesson, we will COMPREHEND Paul’s message of joy in the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ; REFLECT on the variety of motives for proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ; and FASHION a personal proclamation of the Gospel.


Focal Verses: Philippians 1:15-26
15 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. 
16 The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. 
17 The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. 
18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, 
19 for I know that through your prayers and God’s provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance. 
20 I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. 
21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 
22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 
23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; 
24 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. 
25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, 
26 so that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me.
