Fighting for Joy, Growing in Humility, Knowing Christ…

The Lord's Day Morning April 6, 2008 Philippians 3:1-6 Fighting for Joy, Growing in Humility, Knowing Christ and the Peace that Passes Understanding: A Study of Philippians “Put No Confidence in the Flesh” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III I love that hymn, “For All the Saints.” Every line, every stanza is designed to bring to mind a biblical truth that both comforts us in midst of the sorrows of this life by which we're surrounded on every side, and to give us strength to persevere to the end. And in a sense this song does exactly what the Bible passage that we're going to study today does: it brings to bear biblical truth on the living of the Christian life, and it gives us strength and comfort and courage and joy for the living of these days. Let me invite you to take your…

The Lord's Day Morning March 30, 2008 Philippians 3:1-11 Fighting for Joy, Growing in Humility, Knowing Christ and the Peace that Passes Understanding: A Study of Philippians “Rejoice in the Lord, Put No Confidence in the Flesh, Count Gain as Loss to Gain Christ” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Philippians 3, and we're going to look again at the first eleven verses. Now we have been in the book of Philippians, this little letter of Philippians, for many, many weeks and months together, and Philippians 3 is a unique section of this word. Let me direct your attention to verse 1 in Philippians 3, because I want you to note something that New Testament scholars and others who study this book in detail have noted. They…

Formerly Far Off, Now Brought Near

The Lord's Day Morning October 23, 2005 Ephesians 2:11-13 “Formerly Far Off, Now Brought Near” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Ephesians, chapter two, as we continue our way through the Book of Ephesians together. Last time we were together on Sunday morning, we were in Ephesians 2:8-10, that glorious passage in which the beautiful truth of salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone is set forth. We saw there the Apostle Paul explain to us that we have been saved from sin, from slavery, from spiritual death, [and] from God's just condemnation; we've been saved by God Himself; it's God's grace that has saved us, and nothing that we have done or earned or deserved; and, that God has saved us from…

Flesh and Spirit

Flesh and Spirit Romans 8:5-11 If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 8. For the summer months we're going to be in this great chapter. It's a chapter that many of us have turned to in time of need, a chapter of great encouragement. We said that there's a theme that runs throughout this chapter, and that is the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer. And one of the first ways we saw the Spirit working in an encouraging way in our…
