The Word of The Lord Endureth

Philippians 2:1-11 - How well do you understand and know about the Lord Jesus Christ? Does this truth affect the way in which you think, talk and live?

Philippians 2:15-16 - We are citizens of heaven but are not a physically separated community. Hence our Lord commanded Matthew 28:19 “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:” The ‘all nations’ include the people we live amongst as we are living and going in our regular lives. The saints at Philippi are the children of...

Philippians 2:12-15 - The doctrine about Christ was not just for academic interest. Doctrine always has relevance for life today, and so it is here. This is a lesson we need to remember every day. Matt 7:24 “Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock.” Chapter 2 started with an appeal for a unity of selfles...

Philippians 2:9-11 - In Eternity past equality with God, then the humble submission of the incarnation, even to death, the death of the cross. He who cried out, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" as the earth was shrouded in darkness, is now exalted to the highest. His suffering, his humiliation, was finished, he had won the victory long foretold (Gen 3:15). and so, in consequence, God a...

Philippians 2:5-6 - Paul is going to use theology to motivate the saints. Does theology influence your daily life? The coming section is deeply theological, but this is all said for an extremely practical reason. It is helpful to remember that the whole of scripture is theology in a practical context. The great truths of these verses are brought in as the example for the Philippians to follow, to...

Philippians 2:1-4 - ‘In Christ’ highlights his uniqueness. The Christian faith is not in a collection of moral teaching, nor merely looking to his example but being in his very person. Jn 14:6 “I am the way, the truth and the life no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” What comfort this is, what encouragement, to know not only forgiveness of sins, but also new life, communion with God and stre...

2 Timothy 3:16 - God has spoken, we have his word with us. All scripture is breathed of God, it is profitable and it is sufficent. It is our sole inerrant authority for faith and practice. From creation onwards it is trustworthy. There is no room for theistic evolution.

Matthew 10:26-33 - When you look at your hair think about the fact that God has numbered your hairs.

Philippians 2:7-8 - This passage is one of the most important in scripture, for it deals with the highest of doctrine. In verse 6 we are told Christ has full equality with God. The very highest position and then see what he did.

Philippians 1:29-30 - In verses 29 and 30 Paul highlights their suffering as a gift of God. This is not a popular subject in churches today. How does this fit together? Are not Christians promised lives of peace and joy? Yes indeed, but not as the natural man views it.

Philippians 1:28 - Paul adds a call to consistent courage in our spiritual walk and witness. We are to stand fast with courage.

Philippians 1:27-28 - Paul is writing to a local church, which was then copied to other local churches. So Paul’s desire for the local church is that, living as heavens citizens, (a civilian) that ye stand fast (a military metaphor). Philippi was a military colony, many retired soldiers lived there, the chief magistrates were praetors, (Acts 16:20) literally Generals, so the military metaphor woul...

Philippians 1:27 - Being a Christian is not all about a momentary decision, it is about your whole life. Being a faithful disciple was not to depend upon Paul, he believed postponement of his death would benefit them, but they were not to rely upon his coming, living out the gospel is always a today activity. Do you have this focus in your life?

John 3:16 - What is God like, What has God done? There is nothing more important for you to know and understand this. In John 3:16 we see that God has acted, and that God has acted in love.

Philippians 1:25-26 - We are to keep our gaze on our Lord and Saviour, whether things seem hard or easy. Heb 12:2 “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
