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 you’ll appreciate the flow of the apostle's argument here. Back in verse 27, the Apostle Paul has made this point: that we are to live a life that fits the gospel. That's what he means when he says that he is urging us to conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, and the…

The Lord's Day Morning September 16, 2007 Philippians 2:1-3 “Complete My Joy, With Humility” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Let me invite you to turn with me to Philippians, chapter two. We’ll be looking at verses 1, 2, and 3 today, especially concentrating on verse 3. We've been working through this letter for a number of weeks now…a number of months now. The center section of the letter begins in verse 27. Throughout this section the Apostle Paul is exhorting us to live the Christian life. He has especially impressed upon us the fact that we cannot experience the joy that God intends us to enjoy in the congregation of His people unless we are pursuing actively the living of the Christian life. We have said on a number of occasions now that the key to experiencing that…

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…

Ligon Duncan III Now we're studying today from Philippians 1:29, the Apostle Paul's words that “it has been granted to us not only to believe, but also to suffer”.

In the Lowest Pit

If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Psalm 88. And as you do so, let me encourage you to brace yourself, because this is probably the saddest Psalm in the whole of the 150 Psalms. You know, in almost every Psalm, no matter how low the psalmist gets, by the end of it you get to some spark of hope, some word of grace. And it just never comes in this Psalm. And that's really important for us to realize. As Christians face troubles, deep troubles, intractable troubles,…
