#405 - Joby Martin // If Love Is Real It Requires Truth

We keep marching through Philippians and let Paul’s prayer in 1:9-11 correct the way we talk to God about the people we love. We ask for love that grows with knowledge and discernment, rooted in faith in Jesus and proven by the fruit of righteousness. 
• Paul’s prayer for the church at Philippi and what it reveals about spiritual priorities 
• The difference between praying for people and praying about people 
• Why vague prayers miss the point and specific prayers shape discipleship 
• Love as action and sacrifice rather than a feeling 
• Knowledge as truth about God and discernment as applying truth to real life 
• Approving what is excellent and preparing for the day of Christ 
• Root of righteousness as faith in Jesus and fruit of righteousness as a transformed life
