Philippians 3:1-11 | We're looking forward to continuing our journey through Philippians this Sunday. If you remember, Pastor Dave provided the context for Paul's warning to the church he had founded: "Watch out! There are religious dogs that have a habit of harassing the gospel communities I establish!" This week we will move on to look at the next logical consideration which is: "And watch out for that dog within!" What's great about a consideration like this is that it provides us the opportunity to think about how God uniquely draws near to each of us whispering messages of life that resonate with our hearts to bring us joy.

Philippians 3:1-11 | I'm looking forward to our conversations this Sunday as we have finally arrived at Chapter 3 of Philippians! This week we will get to do a whole sermon about dogs! Now, this might not be as cute and cuddly as one might think, but it is sure to be a great conversation about how to avoid the joy-killers that surround us.

Every person’s life tells a story, but the real question is what shapes that story. Our world trains us to believe that identity is built by achievements, credentials, or status, and many spend their lives trying to build a résumé that proves their worth. Philippians 3:1–11 confronts that illusion by showing that when someone truly encounters Jesus Christ, He transforms them into something entirely new.
In this sermon, we learn that nothing in this world compares to the joy of knowing Jesus, and we must beware of the people and ideas that would threaten this joy. Knowing Jesus leads to joy and this must be fought for (Phil. 3:1). Those who truly know Him worship by the Spirit, glory in Him and put not confidence in the flesh (Phil. 3:3). Knowing Jesus is more valuable than anything else in this world (Phil. 3:8). In order for a person to know Jesus they must come to him by faith (Phil. 3:9). And growing in our relationship with him means that we continue to trust him, pursue Him (Phil. 3:10-13) and obey his word (Phil. 2:12, Colossians 2:6-7). Reflection Questions Are you relying on Christ alone for righteousness? Is Christ your source of joy? Is Christ and his cross your point of boasting? Do you value knowing Jesus more than anything else in this world? How do you handle the temptation to trust in your strengths or successes and find your confidence in them? Prayer Lord, I want to know you! I want to know you more accurately and intimately. May I not settle for merely knowing about you. May my relationship with you transform every area of my life; how I see myself, others and the world. May I live as a citizen of Heaven with my life pointing others to gospel! Forgive me for where I have settled for earthly things, hoping that they would satisfy or bring significance to my life. Teach me to live like the Apostle Paul, who said “For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21).

Sunday sermons from Chewelah Evangelical Free Church
Sunday, February 18, 2024 – Today’s message is continuing in our study of Philippians. It’s titled “Confidence in Relationship – Not Flesh.” Paul is making it very clear to his readers in Philippi and to us that it’s not what we do in our fleshly efforts that gives us confidence in Christ; it’s in our relationship with Christ that comes through the power of the Holy Spirit living within us that provides us with confidence. If any person has the justification to trust in himself to gain this confidence, it would be Paul. Yet, he says he considers everything he’s done in his pursuit of religion as garbage in comparison to the experience that happened to him when Jesus appeared to him on the road to Damascus in a blinding light. It’s that instantaneous revelation knowledge of who Jesus is and the relationship that HE provides that is the reason for confidence. There’s so much more we discuss here that is essential to our faith. Worship and study with us…

The 10th sermon in a series on Philippians. Paul challenges the thinking of the "circumcision party," a group of religious people that think salvation comes through Jesus plus adherence to the Mosaic law. But Paul shows even his stellar record is insufficient to save him and points us only to Jesus' person and work instead.

Where does lasting satisfaction come from? Many in the world believe that it comes from money, status, success and security, but in reality, those things will never truly satisfy. Indeed, compared to Christ those things are “rubbish” according to Paul. What does it mean to truly live a life that is fully satisfied in Christ? What does a person who is satisfied by Christ look like? How do they think? How do they move within a world that is trying to convince them that they don’t need Christ?
