Fighting for Joy, Growing in Humility, Knowing Christ…

The Lord's Day Morning April 20, 2008 Philippians 3:1-11 Fighting for Joy, Growing in Humility, Knowing Christ and the Peace that Passes Understanding: A Study of Philippians “The Christian's Triple Gain” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Philippians 3. As we look at this passage which speaks to us about the triple gain of Christians (that is, the triple blessing, the triple benefit that believers have in Jesus Christ), you’ll notice especially in verses 7-11 that Paul outlines for us what that triple gain is, and in the language of our catechism it is justification, sanctification, and glorification. Just open your hymnals and take a look at The Shorter Catechism (towards the back of the hymnal) and look at Questions…

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…

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…

The Lord's Day Morning September 23, 2007 Philippians 2:1-4 “Complete My Joy, With Helpfulness” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Philippians. And before we turn to Philippians 2:1-4, which we're going to read today, I'd like you to allow your eyes to look at verse 27; and then, allow them to fall on verse 1, the first phrase of verse 2; and then we’ll look at verses 2-4. I want to outline the passage again for you so that…

The Lord's Day Morning September 9, 2007 Philippians 2:1-2 “Complete My Joy, With Unity” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Philippians, chapter two. We have been working our way through this great letter of the Apostle Paul, and we have said for the last few weeks as we've been looking at Philippians 1:27 and following, that Philippians 1:27 inaugurates the central section of this letter. It opens with a message in which the…

Now, it's only taken you seventeen weeks to hear me say those words–Philippians 2! The last time we were together we were in verses 29 and 30, and we were looking at this astounding, this stunning statement that the Apostle Paul has made about the gift of faith and the gift of suffering.
