Monthly Guide

1) The Secure PlaceFinally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me and is safe for you. For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh Philippians 3:1, 3

Brothers… Rejoice in the Lord We are the circumcision (We) worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Jesus (We) put no confidence in the flesh

Review…from 1:1: Saints and Servants: Our identity in Jesus!

2) The Danger of Self-Righteousness/Self-ConfidenceLook out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh

If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; as to zeal a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless. Philippians 3:2; 4-6

Beware of the dogs Polishing our resume *Heritage *Bible Knowledge *Religious Activities *Morality

Compared with knowing Jesus, our resumes are rubbish! Beware—our self-confident performance cuts us off from rejoicing in Jesus…and from expressing humility worthy of the Gospel!

3) Knowing Jesus Changes EverythingBut whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ, Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead. Philippians 3:7-11

A new currency: Knowing Christ/Gaining Christ Benefits of Knowing Christ *righteousness from God, not from ourselves *power of resurrection Living the Jesus way—know Jesus, serve Jesus, be raised with Jesus Jesus way: Philippians 2:6-11 Exemplified by Timothy and Epaphroditus: 2:19-30 Modeled by Paul: 1:1; 1:20-26; 3:4-16
