Background

In the last couple of weeks, I have watched a couple of YouTube videos that speaks to who we are as a body in Christ.

Scripture

1. Philippians
   • Philippians 1:15-20 – Paul’s Trials Advance the Gospel ( Link )
     • ¹⁵ It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.
       ¹⁶ The latter do so in love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.
       ¹⁷ The former, however, preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can add to the distress of my chains.
       ¹⁸ What then is the issue? Just this: that in every way, whether by false motives or true, Christ is preached. And in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice
       ¹⁹ because I know that through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, my distress will turn out for my deliverance.
       ²⁰ I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have complete boldness so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.
   • Philippians 1:27-29 – Paul’s Trials Advance the Gospel ( Link )
     • ²⁷ Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
       ²⁸ in no way alarmed by your opponents—which is a sign of destruction for them, but of salvation for you, and that too, from God.
       ²⁹ For to you it has been granted for Christ’s sake, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake,
       ³⁰ experiencing the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
