Philippians 1

Fighting for Joy, Growing in Humility, Knowing Christ…

The Lord's Day Morning July 15, 2007 Philippians 1:25-26 “Progress, Joy, Confidence” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Philippians, chapter one. Today we're going to be looking at verses 25-26. We've been in this section of Philippians for over a month now, and I want to remind you again of the outline of the passage before us. Though our concentration today is going to be on verses 25-26, it will be helpful to you, I think, to remember again the outline of the passage that we gave last week as we worked through this word. First of all, in Philippians 1:21, we said that the Apostle Paul gives a life declaration. He says, “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” And this declaration is in effect…

Together, For the Gospel

The Lord's Day Morning February 18, 2007 Philippians 1:27 Missions Conference 2007Together, For the Gospel Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Philippians, chapter one. The verse that the Missions Conference Committee has chosen to base our Missions Conference Week theme upon is Philippians 1:27, specifically the phrase in which Paul calls us to “stand firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel.” And I'm delighted that our Missions Conference Committee has chosen this particular verse and this particular theme, for a variety of reasons. For one, it stresses the importance of our unity in this work. The Apostle Paul is clearly concerned in this passage about our being united together,…

The Lord's Day Morning July 22, 2007 Philippians 1:27-28 “Living In a Manner Worthy of the Gospel” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Philippians 1:27. Now, it may not show in your particular translation a break, although some of you may well have a new heading that has been inserted by the editor of your particular edition of the Scripture, but something big happens between Philippians 1:26 and Philippians 1:27. Even though there's a connecting word that makes it clear that Paul is now turning to a new subject, transitioning right out of verse 26 into his new topic in Philippians 1:27, this is a new section of the book. In fact, when you get to Philippians 1:27, you have gotten to the main section of the book. You will…

It begins with a very important exhortation that we live in accordance with the gospel of Christ. In…
