I have been preaching through the book of Philippians on Sunday mornings. I have really been going at a slow pace. My desire is for the people in our church to have a good solid handle of the book. Exposition of Scripture requires prayerful and careful examination in order to communicate the authorial intent and not my input. I must look it up and dig it up not make it up. I could take bigger chunks just to get through the book but I have found it helpful to me and the congregation to clearly see the flow of thouhts that are being commuincated. There are major bible doctrines taught throughout the book that need to be clearly understood to help establish God's people in His Word so that they not be tossed arounded by every wind of doctrine that blows about. My aim is for the people of God to learn to recognize and agree with sound biblical preaching and not with smoothe sounding preachers. There is much that sounds good that is not sound preaching. I do not write this to belittle others and elevate myself. I am just conscious of my standing before God to give an account of my own stewardship. II Tim. 4:1 Here is my outlines for the verses I have been dealing with. Sundays message The Fuition of the Knowledge of Christ. Please pray for my efforts to make clear the Gospel of God's Free and Sovereign Grace.
Philippians 3:10-11
v. 10 The Focus of the Knowledge of Christ - that I might know HIM - The Person of Christ.
The Framework of the Knowledge of Christ - and the power of His resurrection and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death - The Redemptive Activity of Christ.
v. 11 The Fuition of the Knowledge of Christ - that by any means possible i may attain the resurrection from the dead - The Resurrection of Christ
