Fighting for Joy, Growing in Humility, Knowing Christ and the Peace that Passes Understanding: A Study of Philippians (21): Song of Christ

Fighting for Joy, Growing in Humility, Knowing Christ…

The Lord's Day Morning October 7, 2007 Philippians 2:5-11 “Song of Christ” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Philippians, chapter two, verses five to eleven. This is one of the greatest passages in this great letter of the Philippians. It's one of the greatest passages in all of the writings of the Apostle Paul; indeed, it's one of the great passages in all of Scripture. We can hardly do justice to it. In fact, it will take us some weeks to even begin to scratch the surface of the depth and the richness of this passage, but what I want to do with you today is at least give you an overview and an outline of the significance and the flow of argument here in Philippians 2:5-11. It might help to begin with to outline the…

Greeting From Paul

The Lord's Day Morning April 29, 2007 Philippians 1:1-2 “Greetings from Paul” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to the book of Philippians, chapter one.

Chock full of glory! Have you ever paused to think how many great themes Paul covers just in this little letter of Philippians? There's the sovereignty of God (he can't get six verses into the letter without mentioning the sovereignty of God); there's the humility and the humiliation of Jesus Christ in the great Christ hymn, recorded in chapter two, verses 9-11. There's Paul's…

Defiled on Delivery

Wednesday Evening March 30, 2005 Leviticus 12:1-8 “Defiled on Delivery” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Leviticus 12. We have been in the Book of Leviticus for a number of months now, first on Sunday nights and now on Wednesday nights. Let me just remind you a little bit of where we've been in the book. As we have looked at Leviticus 1-7, in those chapters we have seen a description of the five great personal sacrifices that were to be brought by the people of God to the priests for worship on a variety of occasions in the life of believers in the Old Testament. Sometimes that occasion was a recognition that they had been far from God, and that God in His mercy had drawn them back into fellowship with Him, and so a…
