1. Letter from Prison
Philippians 3:1-8
5/20/2018

2. Rejoice in the Lord
Curious that the one in prison is encouraging the believers in Philippi to rejoice.
Do you have what Paul had?
Do realize the importance of rejoicing in the Lord?

3. The Dogs Who are the dogs?
Paul used the term to describe those Jews who mutilated the gospel by insisting on the need to mutilate the flesh in order to be right related to God.
Paul’s attitude toward these men was one of contempt, they were evil doers.

4. No Confidence In Self
It not what we done, you cannot work yourself into a right relationship with God.
You can enjoy that relationship through Christ.

5. Paul’s Rubbish Heap Had at birth Things he voluntarily chose
Circumcision
Stock of Israel
Tribe of Benjamin
Son of Hebrew parents
Things he voluntarily chose
Being a Pharisee
Be a persecutor of the church
Flawless external record

6. The Exchange
“the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord”
