This sermon examines the lives of Timothy and Epaphroditus, two disciples praised by the Apostle Paul for their selfless service and genuine concern for others. Through their examples, we are challenged to embody Christ-like humility by putting others' interests above our own.

Key points:
Timothy's "like-mindedness" with Paul fostered unity, genuine care for others, spiritual growth, and alignment under biblical truth. His proven character is held up as a model to follow.

Epaphroditus risked his life serving Paul, nearly dying in the process. Paul affirms his sacrifice, correcting any notion of failure and calling the Philippians to honor such faithful ministers.

Scripture consistently upholds humble servanthood, from Joseph and Daniel to Jesus himself, who came not to be served but to serve.

We are called to imitate Timothy's genuine concern for others' welfare and
Epaphroditus' willingness to risk everything for the gospel's sake.
Like a "great cloud of witnesses," their lives inspire us to lay aside selfishness and "run with endurance the race set before us," empowered by God's grace.

This convicting message challenges us to examine our priorities and live wholeheartedly for Christ and others, following the humble examples of Timothy, Epaphroditus, and our Lord Jesus.
