“Joy: A Study in the Book of Philippians” Philippians 2:19-30 – Pastor Doug Walker

Small Group/Interact Questions

  1. It’s been said that no one’s favorite verse is found in this passage. Why do you think something so “mundane” is included in the Bible?

  2. How does this passage fit into the overall flow of the letter to the Philippians?

  3. Who was Timothy? See Acts 16:1-5; 1 Cor. 4:14-17; 1 Tim 1:1-3, 18-19; 1 Tim 4:15-16; 2 Tim 1:1-5.

  4. Epaphroditus is mentioned only in Philippians. What can we learn of him from these few verses?

  5. Whose role was more important  – Paul the theologian and mentor, Timothy the pastor trainee, or Epaphroditus the messenger?

  6. One of the things this passage shows us is that every person is important in the life and work of the church. How do we tend to prioritize some roles over others? What can we do to improve?
