Philippians 3:1-9 〰️

This week, we’re taking a break from the book of Acts to have Mike Shillinglaw from Summit Community Church in Morganton, NC! Mike is a good friend of KTC, is a phenomenal expositor of the Word, and a great communicator. It’s a joy to have him join us, and if you want to hear his sermon from this week, as always, you can find it by clicking the scrolling banner above!

Discussion Questions

• Could someone read Luke 5:27-32 for us?

• What stood out to you from the passage?

• Does this passage remind you of another part of Scripture?

• Do you have any questions?

• What does this passage instruct us to do and be?

• Why do you think Paul goes into detail about his “confidence in the flesh” in v4-6?

• How does he contrast this “qualification” with knowing Jesus?

• Do you find your sense of righteousness in knowing Christ like this? Why or why not?

• What is “righteousness…from the law” in v9? In what ways do we try to find our sense of righteousness from rule-keeping?

• How can a passage like Ephesians 2:8-9 counter this way of thinking?
