Why the name Striving Together?
Philippians 1:1-12 ; 12-27
The words "you" and "you all" are highlighted several times in those verses. That's the real reason for Striving Together.....you......other people.
We are to live our lives for others.


Why live for others?

1. Because we will need someone to lean on. There were several times when Paul needed lodging and other things from those "other people" that he lived for.
2. Because we need to be there for others. People all around us need for us to show them the love of God. We can show our love and concern in many ways; think of a specific thing you can do for someone else.
3. Because life is much more fun if you live it with others! The most fun you will ever have is with a group of "other people" having fun. We want Striving Together to be the place you can come to have fun and learn more.

"That ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;" Philippians 1:27
