Standing Firm in the Lord
Phil. 3:17-4:1 Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according tothe example you have in us. For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord JesusChrist, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the powerthat enables him even to subject all things to himself. Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm thus in the Lord, my beloved. This is part of a series of sermons on Philippians. My task is that outlined in Neh. 8:8. Nehemiah 8:8 ESV They read from the book, from the Law of God, clearly, and they gave the sense, so that the people understood the reading. I’d like […]
