Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><strong>11<\/strong><\/font> I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><strong>12<\/strong><\/font> I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><strong>13<\/strong><\/font> I can do all this through him who gives me strength.\n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><strong>14<\/strong><\/font> Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles. \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><strong>15<\/strong><\/font> Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only; \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><strong>16<\/strong><\/font> for even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid more than once when I was in need. \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><strong>17<\/strong><\/font> Not that I desire your gifts; what I desire is that more be credited to your account. \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><strong>18<\/strong><\/font> I have received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><strong>19<\/strong><\/font> And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.\n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><strong>20<\/strong><\/font> To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sermon from St Andrews Church, Slip End, UK.
