Paul’s Final Exhortations (Philippians 3:17-4:9)

August 10th, 2008

Guest Speaker Simon Jooste

Part of the Phillipians: Rejoicing in the Gospel series.

The Apostle Paul was a thinking man. He was also a joyful man. In fact, he was a man so captivated by Christ and his gospel that he could say things like: “Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord” (3:8). Paul’s thinking took on gospel-worthy living expression: he joyfully sought to share in Christ's sufferings and become like him in his death.
