Robert Walker
Philippians 2:25-30
I. EPAPHRODITUS WAS A HUMBLE SERVANT
II. EPAPHRODITUS WAS A HEARTY SOLDIER
III. EPAPHRODITUS HAS A HORRIBLE SICKNESS
IV. EPAPHRODITUS HAS A HONORABLE SALUTATION
1. HIS COMMENDATION (V 29)

Bishop Ryle, "says a zealous man in religion is preeminently a man of one things... he see only one thing, he cares for one thing, he lives for one thing, he is swallowed up for one thing; and that one thing is to please God.

Our study will center on such a man in our message for today.
In the closing verses of the second chapter of the Book of Philippians we have brought before us three exemplary men. There is timothy of which Paul said, "I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state."

It is the Spirit of God, who is giving us the record of this faithful brother. Paul's recommendation of him is based upon fellowship with him in Christian servic ...
