Loving one another from the heart naturally leads us to pray for one another with joy—and that kind of prayer produces the fruit of spiritual maturity. In this sermon from Philippians 1:1–11, we explore how Paul's joyful prayers for the Philippians flowed from their shared life in the gospel and how his purpose-driven prayers called them to deeper love, knowledge, and discernment. Along the way, we'll see that prayer is not just words—it's the root that grows kingdom fruit in each other's lives. With personal reflections and practical application, this message calls us to: * Pray for one another with joy, even in hard times. * Let love overflow in real, everyday ways. * Seek maturity that comes through Jesus, for God's glory. If you want a simple way to bless others and grow in Christ yourself, start here: love is a prayer.

Anchor Scripture 1 Corinthians 3.6–9 This passage connects: Personal growth → God grows the individual Christian. Congregational growth → the church is “God's field” and “God's building.” Kingdom growth → God's power multiplies faithful planting and watering into something far greater.

This week's lesson focuses on "Forgive"! “Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, if another member of the church sins against me, how often should I forgive? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “Not seven times, but, I tell you, seventy-seven times. “For this reason the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his slaves. When he began the reckoning, one who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him; and, as he could not pay, his lord ordered him to be sold, together with his wife and children and all his possessions, and payment to be made. So the slave fell on his knees before him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.' And out of pity for him, the lord of that slave released him and forgave him the debt. But that same slave, as he went out, came upon one of his fellow slaves who owed him a hundred denarii; and seizing him by the throat, he said, ‘Pay what you owe.' Then his fellow slave fell down and pleaded with him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you.' But he refused; then he went and threw him into prison until he would pay the debt. When his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their lord all that had taken place. Then his lord summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked slave! I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. Should you not have had mercy on your fellow slave, as I had mercy on you?' And in anger his lord handed him over to be tortured until he would pay his entire debt. So my heavenly Father will also do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”” (Matthew 18:21-35 NRSV)
