A FOUNDATION TO JOYFUL FELLOWSHIP 
 
INTRODUCTION 
Review –presented us and saw believers as: 
1) Partakers of God’s grace 
2) Set apart for God and His purposes. 
3) Are in Christ by faith 
 
1. JOY IS FOUND IN OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHERS 
1.1 Remembering Paul’s circumstances 
1.2 The cause of Christ united the Philippians’ Church with Paul 
1.3 Working at maintaining healthy relationships 
 
2. JOY IS FOUND IS IN THE SECURITY OF OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD 
 
JOYFUL SECURITY IS FOUND ONLY WHEN 
OUR CONFIDENCE IS PLACED IN GOD AND HIS WORK ! 
 
2.1 Paul isn’t confident they’ll make it to heaven because of anything they’ve done 
2.2 Paul is confident because of divine perseverance 
 
Donald Gray Barnhouse: “We do believe in eternal security, but we do not believe in eternal presumption. Let a man examine himself.” 
 
3. THE CALL –WHAT ABOUT YOU? 
Ref: John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

CONCLUSION 
HERE is truth that consistent joy is built upon. 
1. Two great sources of joy 
A. Relationships; get involved, get to know one another and serve together. 
B. Doctrine – the great doctrine of the security of the true believer and the perseverance of the saints are a source of great joy. 
 
If I’m not sure I’m going to heaven, how can I truly experience joy?

BROKEN JARS 
“God’s ways are different from man’s.” 
This was the theme of last week’s sermon. Pastor John Linton read an account from Judges of perhaps the strangest battle in history, when Gideon’s 300 troops, armed only with lamps and trumpets, conquered the Midianite army by putting their trust wholly in the seemingly counter-intuitive guidance of the Almighty. 
“God’s ways are not our ways,” he concludes, “but they are always the best ways.” Pastor John also spoke about trusting God in the face of our own personal battles. 
“God prunes those He loves,” Pastor John reminds us. “Are you the same as you were ten years ago? Or are you bearing more fruit today than yesteryear? A believer who has been pruned like the newly budding grapevine will inevitably produce more vital fruit. I encourage you to surrender your self-trust and your fight against God and join Gideon’s army, placing your faith in God’s superior ways.”
