The Lord's Day Morning January 20, 2008 Philippians 2:8 Fighting for Joy, Growing in Humility, Knowing Christ and the Peace that Passes Understanding: A Study of Philippians “The Obedience of the Death of Christ” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Philippians 2. We’re going to be looking at verses 5-8 today. We've been studying this great letter for a number of weeks, and we have been in this section of this great letter from Philippians 2:5-11, in this great hymn to Christ, this song of Christ, which celebrates His humiliation and His exaltation. Paul, in Philippians 1:27, has opened the whole middle section of this letter up with an exhortation that we would conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel; that…

The Lord's Day Morning January 13, 2008 Communion Sunday Philippians 2:7-8 Fighting for Joy, Growing in Humility, Knowing Christ and the Peace that Passes Understanding “The Humanity of Christ” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Philippians 2, as we continue to work our way through this great letter of the Apostle Paul. Let me remind you that in Philippians 1:27- 28, the first major exhortation of this letter is given, and that exhortation is simply this: “Conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.” Well, what in the world does that mean, and where in the world do you find an example of it? And the Apostle Paul answers both of those questions beginning in Philippians 2:5. He points you in Philippians 2:5 to…

Murmuring in the House

Wednesday Evening July 18, 2007 Numbers 12:1-16 “Murmuring In the House” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, let me ask you to turn with me to Numbers 12. You will remember, back in Numbers 11 — and you might want to let your eyes fall on the first fifteen verses and the last four or five verses of Numbers 11, because in Numbers 11, we had two incidents which perfectly illustrate the concerns that the Apostle Paul spoke to the Corinthians about in I Corinthians 10:1-13, when he spoke about the grumbling and the complaining and the rebelling and the murmuring of the people of God in the Old Testament. Two incidents that are “poster children” for that kind of concern that the Apostle Paul raised with the Corinthians are recorded for us in Numbers 11. In a sense, the…

Faith and the Law

Faith and the Law Romans 4:13-15 If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 4, as we continue to study together through this glorious book. Our minds are very much on the incarnation just now. We’re singing about it. We’re listening to others sing about it. We’re reflecting on it, perhaps individually. And it’s important to realize that the incarnation itself proves that salvation is by grace, and not by our works. If salvation were by our law keeping,…

David Understood Justification by Faith

Romans 4:4-8 David Understood Justification by Faith If you have your Bibles I’d invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 4. We’ve been looking at this great theme of justification for a number of weeks now, especially as we’ve worked through Romans, chapter 3. Paul there has been explaining justification. Justification simply refers to God’s declaring us to be righteous. And he’s been explaining in Romans 3 exactly how it is that God goes about declaring us to be righteous. One…

The Bible Says Abraham Was Justified by Faith!

The Bible Says Abraham was Justified by Faith Romans 4:1-3. If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 4. We have been looking for a number of weeks in our study of Romans 3 at Paul’s teaching on justification by faith. That is, the teaching whereby Paul sets forth the scriptural truth that the way a person is saved is by being declared righteous, that declared righteousness is received by faith. It is grounded, however, in the grace of God and is purchased…

Faith Alone

Romans 3:27-31 (2) Faith Alone If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 3. We’re going to be looking again at that same section that we’ve been pondering for the last couple of weeks beginning in verse 27. Romans 3:27-31. As we do so, we’re going to concentrate especially on Paul’s statement in verse 28 and two parts of that statement. This sermon is sort of a spill over from what was supposed to be a three-point sermon. So you’re going to get two…
