Sunday 4th October 2026 // Morning // Philippians 1:3-5 // Dear Partners in the Gospel

Iliya Marinov, pastor of Evangelical Congregational Church Ruse in Bulgaria, preaches Philippians 1:3-5 at morning worship on Sunday 4th October 2026 in First Ards.

We’re reminded that gospel work is never carried by one person alone. Paul thanks God for the Philippians’ faithful partnership in the gospel, expressed through prayer, generosity and steadfast support. As we hear about the work in Ruse, we’re encouraged to see ourselves as fellow workers in Christ’s mission, gladly holding the rope together for the sake of the gospel.
