Many of us believe a quiet lie when we give to missions: "My gift doesn't really matter much. I'm just a donor." But what if God sees you as something far more significant? In this sermon, Pastor John Hester walks through Philippians 1:3-7 to show that when you give to support a missionary, you're not writing a check to a good cause. You're entering a covenant of partnership in gospel work—and God counts you as a genuine co-laborer, not a donor.
Discover what the Holy Spirit told the Philippian church about partnership, why God guarantees to complete the work you're part of, and what it means for your own giving this October.
In This Sermon:
- The biblical meaning of koinonia (partnership in the gospel)
- God's guarantee that He will complete the work He begins in you
- Why you're elevated to co-laborer status, not auxiliary support
- The inspiring example of Priscilla and Aquila
- How to renew your commitment to missionaries this October
This is the opening message of Calvary Baptist Church's October missions month: Still on Mission: Reaching the World Through Partnerships.
Scripture: Philippians 1:3-7 (KJV)
