The book of Philippians is a fascinating study of many topics, all bound up in one great theme: the finished work of Christ in His death and resurrection (Phi 2:5–11). It is a letter of thanksgiving to the Philippian church (Phi 1:3; 4:10, 14). It is a letter of encouragement to them as they face many trials (Phi 1:28–30). In it, Paul gives an update on his prison status (Phi 1:12–18), and news of one of their own members who was with him (Phi 2:25–30). Above these things, it is a call to enter into the unshakeable joy of those who know that Jesus Christ controls human history.
These notes from the Book of Philippians were originally created for a conference in South Florida in March 2008.

The Amazing Race 3

The Amazing Race

Heb 12:1-3 We're in the arena God has predetermined for us. We have our own personal race. We start the race when we become Christians. The race will be finished. We race against ourselves (Spirit vs flesh). The end is evaluated by Jesus Christ. In Jer 12:1-5 Jeremiah warned Israel for 40 years. When he questioned God, Jeremiah found out that to that point, he was only running with the footmen; a day was coming he'd have to run with the horseman. Job also questioned God. God asked Job "where were you when I laid the foundations of the Earth"? God asked Paul a similar question (Act 9:4); Paul responded "what would you have me to do"? (Act 9:6)

Scripture References: Acts 9:6, Acts 9:4, Jeremiah 12:1-5, Hebrews 12:1-3
