Part 5 in the exposition of the Gospel according to Luke.

An exposition of Philippians 3:8 continuing a two-part series on the surpassing worth of the Christian's knowledge of Christ. Drawing on Paul's declaration that he counts all things as rubbish compared to knowing Christ Jesus his Lord, the sermon works through seven biblical reasons why this knowledge is of the highest order, completing the four reasons introduced in the morning sermon with three further grounds. Main points: - Christ is the one in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden - Christ is the object and ground of saving faith - Christ is the believer's sanctification and the pattern of holy living Scripture references: - Psalms 2:7-8; 16:11; 17:15; 110:1 - Proverbs 8:22-31 - Isaiah 11:1-5; 53:11 - Jeremiah 9:23-24; 31:31-34 - Daniel 12:3 - Matthew 11:27; 16:16-17; 17:1-8 - Luke 10:22 - John 1:1-4; 1:14; 3:36; 5:39-40; 6:68-69; 14:6; 17:3; 20:30-31 - Acts 4:12 - Romans 3:21-22; 8:29; 10:9-17 - 1 Corinthians 1:30; 2:2; 13:12; 15:49 - 2 Corinthians 3:18; 4:6; 5:21 - Galatians 2:20 - Ephesians 1:17; 3:8-9; 3:14-19; 4:13-15 - Philippians 3:8-10 - Colossians 1:15-17; 2:2-3; 2:9; 3:10 - 1 Timothy 2:5 - Hebrews 1:1-3; 11:6 - 1 Peter 1:8 - 2 Peter 1:2-3; 3:18 - 1 John 5:11-12; 5:20 - Revelation 5:9-12 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-the-importance-of-our-knowledge-of-christ-part-2 Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

Expositional Preaching of God's Word

Part 4 in the Exposition of the Gospel according to Luke.

Judas was one of the twelve, anointed with them and sent out with them, and he turned away and destroyed himself. Peter said "I will lay down my life for thy sake" (John 13:37), and before the cock crew he had denied Him thrice. Both men believed, and both fell. The Lord Jesus Christ had already told Peter, "when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren" (Luke 22:32), and over that whole hour He says, "Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him" (John 13:31). No man holds himself up by confidence in his own profession, because "faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17).

This sermon explores the supreme sufficiency and preeminence of Jesus Christ as presented in Colossians 1. The speaker argues that Christ is the visible image of the invisible God, the creator and sustainer of all things, and the head of the church through his redemptive work on the cross. By examining these cosmic truths, the message emphasizes that believers find their ultimate hope and security not in legalistic efforts but in steadfast faith in Christ alone. The exposition concludes by illustrating Christ's humble love and service to his people, urging listeners to rest securely in his finished work rather than shifting away from the gospel.
