"The Jailhouse Sermon" Part 1
from Springville Road Community Church
Text: Philippians 3:1-6 Listen to Pastor Thad Blount as he brings us a message from God's Word. Key definitions: * rejoice - means to be glad or delighted, to celebrate, to be cheerful. * beware - The word beware is used three times in this verse. The word means to perceive with your eyes, to pay close attention. Kenneth Wuest makes the following observation: - In this context the words dogs, evil workers, and false circumcision are attributed to Jews who professed to believe in Christ but depended upon keeping the ritual of Judaism for their salvation. Such men insisted that unless one kept the Law of Moses, he would not be saved. Paul regards this teaching as dangerous and subversive to the gospel of Christ. * evil workers - describes those who were charaterized by godlessness with the implication of being harmful or damaging. * worship - describes one who is living in obedience to God resulting in a life of praise. * glory - means to boast over a privilege or possession. The idea is that our boasting be in Jesus Christ. REMEMBER Your responsibility with God's enabling, is to consistently apply truths you have heard from the word (I Tim. 4: 7-9; James 1: 22-27). As you consider the message, ask yourself what God wants you to change in your life this week.
