Leaf River Baptist Church

The care and concern that Paul has for the church in Philippi, this is a covenantal love. This is not transactional. It's not, I love you because you can give me something. It's I love you because we're connected through the gospel. Paul doesn't care for these people only because they have sent him an offering. They have sent him an offering, but that's not the only reason he cares for them. He cares for them because they have a joint mission. They have a joint purpose, and they are working together for the same cause.
