I. Give more attention to the needs of others - Phil 2:19-24 (Timothy)

• Matthew 22:27-30
• Self denial as taught by Jesus is liberating from things that stress us in life
• When we care for others, we experience joy and satisfaction

II. To find reason to rejoice in time of suffering and difficulties - Phil 2:25-30 (Epaphroditus)

• John 16:33
• Problems in this world are short and temporary
• Don't let them rob you of your joy

Do you want to give more attention to others... find a reason to rejoice in time of suffering
Do you want to find a reason to rejoice in time of difficulties... think of others, not just yourself
