The Supply of Need
David Cawston
Philippians 4:15-19
Introduction:
The Philippians church had remember Paul during his imprisonment at Rome. This kindness meant a great deal to the apostle. Out of this setting he wrote to them this letter.

The word "Supply" in this promise means literally to fill full. "My God shall fulfill ever need of yours."
The picture of this comes to us out of the book of second kings. You remember the widow with her cruse of oil. The woman was in desperate need. The creditor has come to take her sons a ...
