Rejoicing as Theology Armor

Rejoicing is not optional for the believer. It is spiritual armor. In Philippians 3:1-7, Paul commands the church to rejoice in the Lord so that they will stand firm against Judaizers and every form of self-righteous confidence in the flesh. This sermon explains why joy flows from the finished work of Christ, how works-based religion still threatens the church, and why Paul counts all former gain as loss compared to knowing Christ. It calls Christians to reject every confidence in the flesh, to rest in the righteousness of Christ imputed to them, and to walk in joyful worship as they fight the good fight of faith.
