Further, my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same
things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you. 2 Watch out for those dogs, those evildoers, those mutilators of the flesh. 3 For it is we who are the
circumcision, we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence
in the flesh — 4 though I myself have reasons for such confidence.
Philippians 3:1-14

If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more:
5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee; 6 as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for righteousness based on the law, faultless.

7 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the
surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ 9 and be
found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is
through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.

10 I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,
11 and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead. 12 Not that I have already obtained
all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.

13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward
what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

30 For two whole years Paul stayed there in his own rented house and welcomed all who came to
see him. 31 He proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ —with all boldness and without hindrance
Acts 28:30-31

What is perhaps the most extraordinary aspect of Paul’s life is his ministry of letter writing
![Page 11: Sunday, September 23, 2018...2018/09/23 · consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things.

Paul writes Philippians, Ephesians, Colossians and Philemon, which are
known as the “captivity epistles”
![Page 12: Sunday, September 23, 2018...2018/09/23 · consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things.

We can suffer with a prisoner’s mentality…
• Why am I in this season of my life? • I do not deserve this• This is the end of my life
![Page 13: Sunday, September 23, 2018...2018/09/23 · consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things.

Like Paul, you and I can change a prisoner mentality into a pioneering mentality
by rejoicing in all circumstances
![Page 14: Sunday, September 23, 2018...2018/09/23 · consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things.

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
Philippians 4:4

Rejoicing is not a natural response, but a supernatural response to the adversity in our lives
![Page 16: Sunday, September 23, 2018...2018/09/23 · consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things.

So you are no longer a slave, but God's child; and since you are his child,
God has made you also an heir.

We rejoice knowing whose we are not who we think we are

Philippians 3:4-64 If someone else thinks they have reasons to
put confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of

6 as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for righteousness based on the law, faultless.

We can suffer with a privilege mentality…
• Do you know who I am? • I’ve been here for “x” number of years• I’ve accomplished this, I’ve accomplished
that• “As a mature Christian…”• They couldn’t have done that without me…• These people owe me…

Acts 22:33 “I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought
up in this city. I studied under Gamaliel and was thoroughly trained in the law of our ancestors. I
was just as zealous for God as any of you are today.

Our spiritual resume might sound like Paul’s and might impress our peers,
but it fails to impress God

Some of us are depending on what we did for God in the past to carry us into the future

7 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the
