Philippians - Week 3

SPEAKER: Pastor Charlie Riley
June 1, 2024

Week 3
June 1, 2024

Finally, my brethren, rejoice (Verb) in the Lord. For me to write the same things to you is not tedious, but for you it is safe.
Philippians 3:1

Beware of dogs (Impure or Sinful Gentiles, also In O.T. Term For Male Prostitute), beware of evil workers, beware of the mutilation! (Context: Spiritual Castration Because of Dependency on the Law) For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh,
Philippians 3:2-3

Confidence In The Flesh For Righteousness Vs.
Confidence In Christ Through Faith For Righteousness

though I also might have confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh, I more so: circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;
Philippians 3:4-5

Paul Was The Most “Promising” Student of Gamaliel

concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ.
Philippians 3:6-7

Renounced Faith In Himself “Self-Righteousness” To Gain Faith In Christ

Yet indeed I also count (Present-Tense Verb) all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ
Philippians 3:8

and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness (Two Types of Righteousness), which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ (KJV – Faith of Christ), the righteousness which is from God by faith;
Philippians 3:9

that I may know (Greek – “Ginosko” Used As A Jewish Idiom For Sexual Union) Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
Philippians 3:10-11

Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:12-14

Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you. Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind.
Philippians 3:15-16

Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern. For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame—who set their mind on earthly things.
Philippians 3:17-19

For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.
Philippians 3:20-21

New Chapter

Philippians 4

Therefore, my beloved and longed-for brethren, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, beloved. Be United, Joyful, and in Prayer
Philippians 4:1

I implore Euodia and I implore Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord. And I urge you also, true companion, help these women who labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.
Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!
Philippians 4:2-4
