Episode notes
Speaker: Marty Beamer • Scripture: Philippians 1:15–18 • Bethel Sunday Morning Worship • 11/7/2021
When motives clash in ministry—envy, rivalry, selfish ambition vs. goodwill—what should remain non-negotiable? From Paul’s prison reflections in Philippians 1:15–18, Pastor Marty calls us “back to the basics”: keep the mission above the individual and make the advancement of the gospel our first love. You’ll hear:

- How to rejoice even when you’re personally misunderstood or slandered
- The danger of selfish ambition in the church and the cure: Christ’s kingship and mission
- A practical grid for keeping the main thing the main thing: “Only that Christ is proclaimed.”
