Philippians 1:9–11 - Cameron Jungels - Sunday AM, May 18, 2014

“A Prayer for God’s
Glory” (Philippians 1:9–11) 
3 I thank my God every time I remember you. 4 In
all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy 5 because
of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being
confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to
completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
7 It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since
I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming
the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me. 8 God can
testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
9 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and
more in knowledge and depth of insight, 10 so that you may be
able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of
Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes
through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.[1]

Philippians 2:1-11 - Cameron Jungles - Wed PM, Dec. 18, 2013

“Christ’s Humiliation and Exaltation” - Philippians
2:1-11 -
(Eastside Baptist/Wed PM/Dec. 18, 2013)
 
Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united
with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit,
if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being
like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do
nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value
others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to
the interests of the others.
In your relationships with one another, have the same
mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider
equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made
himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human
likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by
becoming obedient to death-- even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him
to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at
the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the
earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of
God the Father. (Phil. 2:1–11, NIV)
 
1. Because of his faithful, humble obedience, Christ was
vindicated and exalted by God.
 
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him
the name that is above every name,
(Phil. 2:9, NIV)
 
Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of
the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you
in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving
together as one for the faith of the gospel without being frightened in any way
by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed,
but that you will be saved--and that by God. For it has been granted to you on
behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him, since
you are going through the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I
still have. (Phil. 1:27–30, NIV)
 
2. The risen and exalted Christ is the Lord of the entire
universe, and all will bow in submission before him.
 
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him
the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should
bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge
that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Phil. 2:9–11)
 
"I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not yield my
glory to another or my praise to idols. (Isa. 42:8, NIV)
 
"Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth;
for I am God, and there is no other. By myself I have sworn, my mouth has
uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: Before me every knee
will bow; by me every tongue will swear. They will say of me, 'In the LORD
alone are deliverance and strength. '" All who have raged against him will
come to him and be put to shame. But all the descendants of Israel will find
deliverance in the LORD and will make their boast in him. (Isa. 45:22–25, NIV)
 
3. God the Father is glorified through Christ’s
humiliation and exaltation.
 
and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to
the glory of God the Father.
(Phil. 2:11, NIV)
 
Main Idea: Our Lord Jesus Christ showed us
that the path to exaltation by God is through humble, obedient service.
 
For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and
those who humble themselves will be exalted." (Lk. 14:11, NIV)
 
Implications:
Ø  Unity
is achieved through self-giving, humility.
Ø  The
path to vindication and exaltation is through humble, obedient service.
Ø  We
glorify God when we live in humility & obedience.

1. Jesus Christ was, is, and always will be fully God.
 
Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality
with God something to be used to his own advantage; (Phil. 2:6, NIV)
 
The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact
representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. (Heb.
1:3, NIV)
 
2. Jesus Christ willingly humbled himself when he took on
a human nature and lived among us.
 
Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality
with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself
nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
(Phil. 2:6–7, NIV)
 
3. The ultimate display of Christ’s humility was when he
willingly died on a Roman cross for our redemption.
 
And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death-- even death on a cross! (Phil. 2:8, NIV)
 
Main Idea: Jesus Christ, the eternal God,
showed us the path of humility and service when he became a man and died on a
cross for us.
