Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

No way for a little bit.

We're going through Philippians and this morning, we're touching on chapter 3 and kind of finishing off a second half of Paul spots.

And that beginning, verses one through three, and he's going to kind of date, lay out for you and me some specific.

He's going to challenge you basically.

So throw away, all of your self efforts.

And then again, if you've ever travel outside the country, over visiting a foreign country, you'll know that.

The first thing you have to do when you arrive at your destination airport, if you haven't done.

So already as what, Change your money cuz it's not worth anything.

In France, the American dollar, right?

It's not worth anything and you find that your money in America.

In America might be worth nothing.

But in France, it's utterly useless now.

Hopefully you've already known that and you already knew that when you got there and you probably bought some money ahead of time.

So what are you doing?

The currency exchange booth and they can you trade in your American currency?

For this local countries currency?

And I said, usually taking a good skinning as my British friends, like, today in the process.

We need new currency as yours isn't worth anything in.

This is essentially what false thing to us this morning.

Heaven's currency is completely different than the currency that you and I like to print all the time.

Anything that you possess.

Our currency is just as worthless in the Kingdom of Heaven.

As an American dollar is in the nation of France, it's worthless, but that doesn't stop us, of course, from rolling up to the counter.

To use are worthless currency to paint those spiritual goods and services that we see and read about in the Bible and left.

We think we can get away with it.

I'll check the at the arrivals at the arrival gate, of course through the remember the Philippians are dealing with some stripes and he's continued.

As I said, these first three verses is continuing his fault with Wiley on his breakfast thing that it feels like a weird place to begin really a hyphen and he's finishing off his second thought.

I called out and it's chapter that burped, really before Bird by bird any and all false gospel and he challenges us to be on guard for them at what he did in the first.

But now he's going to elaborate on the reasons why the false gospels are.

Well either fake person that says they're downright name.

Why the currency that you and I like the traffic is invaluable worthless in God's eyes were worthless in the Kingdom of Heaven.

All calls, this the flesh.

What we do as people in The Flash.

Most importantly, he says, Christians are to put no confidence in it, the flesh.

But what exactly is The Flash while in short, it's kind of our default operating system are fallen and how we like to think about the world and how we act and react and respond to things in the world and its passage, of course, laid out for us.

I think really only two option.

The first is keep printing, your own useless currency or secondly, receive currency.

That's the only two options we have been to the very essence of the Christian faith.

So if you've been a Christian for a while, and you think yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Well just pay attention, but you might be surprised by some of the ways in which you can print counterfeit money.

Okay?

The first, let's look at the ways in which we print our own printing Falls.

Going to go through a list of seven different way that he printed his own currency, any plays the part of a Madman.

That's crazy.

Here.

He does the same thing in 2nd Corinthians chapter 11, not familiar with that what's on an idle or not a night away from a mask and he momentarily slips back into a point in time when he actually thought that it's useless accomplishments miss something and he's going to basically unpack it and he's going to stay in seven of these different kinds of accomplishment for which are inherited, and they had nothing to do with and three of which are his personal accomplishment.

Any begins in first five, if you have your Bibles open, I'd like you just returned with me there and kind of follow along because we're going to go see these fairly quickly.

Okay?

First of all, he says that he was circumcised on the eighth day.

His parents circumcised him, seven days after his first that is it Jewish 8th day because Lucas County, sometimes they don't but anyway, this was in strict compliance with Abraham.

Spell.

All right, to do all the things that God expect us to do.

But most potent Pagan proselyte from the backwoods of wherever he came from the grafted into the kingdom, for the people of Israel.

He was a sent it to from the 8th day.

Going forward, you was a covenant keeper.

He was there.

He was one of the circumcised from Bert, that's who he was.

So that was an inherited privilege that he had not something he had anything to do with, what's like your approval.

But you can hear it.

It had nothing to do with them either.

Secondly.

He says, he's of the people of Israel, more specifically.

The Greek says of the race of Israel.

And this meant that racially he was no Harry Potter fans.

It was no Half-Blood.

Somebody was no habsyi.

He was a full-blood authentic Jew.

He was an Israelite and those were the terms that the Jews refer to their own Nation.

No one else refer to them.

That way others might call them shoes that only they call themselves.

The children of Israel.

Paul was a child of Israel of the race of Israel.

He wasn't a complete Insider.

Another word.

She was no alien to the Covenant and Promises of God.

Thirdly to make matters, more specific.

He was of The Tribe of Benjamin.

I don't know if you know about little Benjamin the small tribe, but Benjamin was the only fun born in the Promised Land.

Do Bible trivia for you and The Tribe of Benjamin was the only tribe.

Remain faithful to Judah & The House of David after the death of Stalin.

Remember all that nasty, this Adelaide, all that Absalom and all that stuff.

Benjamin was the only one to be faithful.

The Tribe of Benjamin went into Exile with the tribe of Judah and returned.

From Exile.

With Judah to resettle Jerusalem.

Benjamin remained at the Cornerstone, the score of spirituality.

They were devoted.

Baseball.

Try to call Israel first king.

Benjamin and the Apostle.

Paul's given name was Saul a connection to that.

Great thing for Spinoza turned out, did Heritage radiated from within he was at inside or pride.

And then lastly, one of the inherited statement that he makes, is he the Hebrew Hebrew now, Though.

He'd been born where.

But no.

Where is that?

Not in Israel, it was born outside the mother work, but he was born.

He was a Hebrew.

His parents were Hebrews before him.
