Philippians 1:18-30 KJV

Sermon Bible Commentary - Philippians 1:23-24

Philippians 1:23-24 Consider: I. The two desires. (1) To depart and be with Christ. This desire is composed of two parts: a vestibule, somewhat dark and forbidding, through which the pilgrim must pass, and a temple, unspeakably glorious, to which it leads the pilgrim as his eternal home. (2) To abide in the flesh. It is a natural and lawful desire. God has placed us here; He has visited us here; He has given us something to enjoy and something to do here. He expects us to value what He has... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Philippians 1:27

Philippians 1:27 It is plain that every precept of holy living might be brought under this comprehensive charge. Let us narrow the compass of the exhortation. Let us say, Live inwardly and live outwardly as citizens of that kingdom which the Gospel has revealed. I. How large a part of life is lived wholly within public life, social life, family life; these do not exhaust the whole being even in those who are most busy, most sociable, or most domestic. Within and beside all these there is for... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Philippians 1:27-30

Philippians 1:27-30 This is a call I. To holiness. There is but one ideal life in the Church. In all our growing and striving Christ Himself is to us, and His grace is, all-sufficient. II. To unanimity. Monotony is not what is meant by unanimity. We are one in our love and service of Christ. III. To courage. Timidity is an impediment on the path of moral progress; it arises from distrust of God. "Straight on," is God's command, and He will frighten the lions from before your feet.

Sermon Bible Commentary - Philippians 1:29

Philippians 1:29 The Sacrifice of the Redeemed. I. Christ's sacrifice is no far-away fact, to be shown and gazed upon; it draws us also unto itself. For consider what exactly it was. Where does its vicarious efficacy for us lie? Surely in this: that Christ made His offering out of our very flesh. He laid hold of no foreign thing to offer; He looked not elsewhere for a gift. He looked at this world we live in; He took of its substance for His gift; He laid hold of its present nature, and offered... read more

DISCOURSE: 2138PREACHING OF CHRIST, A GROUND OF JOYPhilippians 1:18. Christ is preached: and I therein do rejoice, yea and will rejoice.WHEN our blessed Lord came into the world, it was said concerning him, that he was “set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel, that the thoughts of many hearts might be revealed [Note: Luke 2:34-35.].” And certainly his Gospel has been an occasion of displaying, in a far greater degree than at any former period, the extreme wickedness of the human... read more

DISCOURSE: 2139CHRIST MAGNIFIED IN OUR BODYPhilippians 1:20. Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.WHILST the great mass of mankind, like a ship driven with fierce winds and tossed upon tempestuous waves, are uncertain what may be the event of their trials, the true Christian is like a ship at anchor: he beholds the storm, but defies its power: he knows that every effort, either of men or devils, to destroy him, shall issue in his own welfare, and in their... read more

DISCOURSE: 2140ST. PAUL’S DILEMMAPhilippians 1:21-24. To me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and. to be with Christ; which is far better: nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.THE way to ascertain the real excellence of religion, is to see what it can do for us in the hour of trial, when all other helps and... read more

DISCOURSE: 2141A HOLY CONVERSATION RECOMMENDEDPhilippians 1:27. Only let your conversation be as it becometh the Gospel of Christ; that whether I come and see you. or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the Gospel.THE interests of immortal souls should be dear to every one, but most of all to the ministers of Christ. Neither the height of prosperity, nor the depth of adversity, should ever induce us to... read more

DISCOURSE: 2142SUFFERING FOR CHRIST’S SAKE, A GIFT OF GODPhilippians 1:29. Unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake.THE chief obstacles to a holy and consistent conduct arise perhaps from within, from the evil propensities of our own hearts. But very serious difficulties are occasioned by the frowns and menaces of an ungodly world. We are naturally afraid of suffering; and are easily deterred from those things which would subject... read more
