📜 TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: Philippians 3:1-8
Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me and is safe for you.
2 Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh. 3 For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh— 4 though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If anyone else thinks he has reason for 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; as to the law, a Pharisee; 6 as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless. 7 But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 8 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ

| 0:15.6 | teacher still I do that a lot and as you know from these morning mindsets |
| 0:19.5 | part of what I believe is that having your spiritual life, your relationship with God |
| 0:25.1 | vibrant and vital is the essential part of living successfully in this world. |
| 0:31.2 | And yesterday I introduced this concept of confidence |
| 0:35.5 | and what it takes as a believer in Christ |
| 0:37.9 | to truly be confident. |
| 0:40.5 | And we're looking at Philippians chapter 3, where the apostle Paul has said that when people come |
| 0:46.2 | in trying to push you to do certain particular religious things, as a place of being confident before God. |
| 0:56.1 | You need to set those things aside because those are not the things necessarily that make us |
| 1:00.6 | confident before God. He's saying what makes us confident before God. He's saying what makes us confident before God, you see |
| 1:05.2 | this in verse 3 of chapter 3 of the book of Philippians, is that we serve God by his spirit and that we |
| 1:12.4 | boast in Christ Jesus. |
| 1:16.1 | Now, Paul says we do that rather than put confidence |
| 1:19.5 | in the flesh. |
| 1:20.4 | Now, the deal he was talking about in this situation was truly an issue of the flesh. |
| 1:26.0 | He was talking about a circumcision, but really it applies more broadly than that. |
| 1:30.8 | He's saying he himself has many reasons for that kind of confidence if that's really where it comes from |
| 1:37.6 | He says if someone else thinks this is in verse four he says if someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh. |
| 1:44.5 | I have more. |
