scripture: philippians 3:1-3:11

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…

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?

Our confidence comes from our identity in Christ, not our performance.

Right in the middle of the "epistle of joy," Paul uses some harsh language to call people out. What's going on here?
