Filipenses 3:1-15 RVA

Sermon Bible Commentary - Philippians 3:13-14

Philippians 3:13-14 Living in the Future. I. First, we may take this as the advice commended to us in the example here taught us: Live in the future. Our highest condition in this world is not the attainment of perfection, but the recognition of heights above us which are as yet unreached. From generation to generation, for the individual and the species, the condition of our progress is a distance beckoning us, and a feeling that we have not already attained, neither are already perfect.

Sermon Bible Commentary - Philippians 3:15-16

Philippians 3:15-16 Toleration. I. In proportion as we really love the Lord Jesus Christ, we shall love those who love Him, be it in never so clumsy or mistaken a fashion, and love those too whom He loved enough to die for them, and whom He lives now to teach and strengthen. We can surely do good together. Together, let our denomination be what it may, we can feed the hungry, clothe the naked, reform the prisoner, humanise the degraded, save yearly the lives of thousands by labouring for the... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Philippians 3:3

DISCOURSE: 2151THE TRUE CHRISTIAN DELINEATEDPhilippians 3:3. We are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.IT is much to be lamented that the nature of genuine Christianity is but little understood. An assent to the fundamental articles of our faith, and a conformity to certain rites and ceremonies, are thought sufficient grounds for concluding ourselves real Christians, notwithstanding we are plainly warned by God... read more

DISCOURSE: 2152THE EXCELLENCY OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF CHRISTPhilippians 3:7-8. What things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but toss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord.MANKIND in general are agitated by various and contending passions, while the true Christian enjoys serenity and composure: he is indeed tempted like others to gratify his corrupt nature; but he has one supreme desire which overcomes and regulates all the... read more

DISCOURSE: 2153CHRIST, GAIN TO THE BELIEVERPhilippians 3:8-9. For whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, and be found in him; not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through, the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.RESPECTING doctrines, as mere subjects of controversy, we need not be anxious; it is as influential principles that we are called to examine and maintain them: and, in... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Philippians 3:10

DISCOURSE: 2154THE POWER OF CHRIST’S RESURRECTIONPhilippians 3:10. That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection.MANY think that religion is not an object of choice, but rather of compulsion and constraint: and hence they frequently suggest to the godly, that the measure of piety to which they aspire is not necessary. But true Christians do not regard God as a task-master, standing over them with a rod; but as a Father, delighting in the happiness of his children: and they desire to... read more

DISCOURSE: 2155HOLY AMBITION ENCOURAGEDPhilippians 3:13-15. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded.TRUE religion affords such perfect satisfaction to the mind, that from the time we become possessed of it, we lose our relish for... read more
