Title: Joy Through Knowing Christ (5)
Series: Philippians
Author: Josh Malone
Text: Philippians 3:1-11
- Illus. Relationships are transformative- This TG weekend you likely spent some time with people, and hopefully you have people in your life you are thankful for. Spouse, Parents, Kids, etc. - The people in your life have the ability to influence and shape you, especially the ones you know and that know you the best. Some people break bad habits, work harder, etc all because of the people they love. Some pick up bad habits, etc. all because of the people they love. ---- This morning we are going to unpack verses that reveal the most transformative relationship in Paul's life, and really in any Christians. A relationship with Jesus. At the center of a Christian's joy... is a relationship with Jesus.
- In Philippians we have been seeing that one of Paul's major themes is JOY, THOUGH IN PRISON. As we have went through this book we've seen topics connected to this theme.
- Phil. 1:1-11- Fellowship, Phil. 1:12-30- Purpose, Phil. 2:1-11- Attitude, Phil. 2:12-30- Obedience
- Today we will see the joy of knowing Jesus Christ. This passage is the key to really understanding at the very heart why Paul can write with joy in prison. It's all about Paul's trading the dead end of self-focused religion for a transformative relationship with Jesus. As we study this we must answer two questions... What am I trusting to make me right with God? And What do I treasure more than anything? Because those questions help reveal whether I know Christ.

[1]Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me and is safe for you. [2] Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh. [3] For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh-
