Philippians 3:2-16
2 Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of those
who mutilate the flesh!* 3For it is we who are the circumcision, who
worship in the Spirit of God* and boast in Christ Jesus and have no
confidence in the flesh— 4even though I, too, have reason for
confidence in the flesh.
If anyone else has reason to be confident in the flesh, I have more:
5circumcised on the eighth day, a member of the people of Israel, of
the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born of Hebrews; as to the law, a
Pharisee; 6as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to
righteousness under the law, blameless.
7 Yet whatever gains I had, these I have come to regard as loss
because of Christ. 8More than that, I regard everything as loss
because of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For
his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and I regard them
as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ 9and be found in him,
not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but
one that comes through faith in Christ,* the righteousness from God
based on faith. 10I want to know Christ* and the power of his
resurrection and the sharing of his sufferings by becoming like him
in his death, 11if somehow I may attain the resurrection from the
dead.
Pressing towards the Goal12 Not
that I have already obtained this or have already reached the goal;*
but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me
his own. 13Beloved,* I do not consider that I have made it my own;*
but this one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining
forward to what lies ahead, 14I press on towards the goal for the
prize of the heavenly* call of God in Christ Jesus. 15Let those of
us then who are mature be of the same mind; and if you think
differently about anything, this too God will reveal to you. 16Only
let us hold fast to what we have attained.

24/7 nourishment...

God's
love and attention for us is without end, without bound, without limits.
Why should our personal worship encompass only 1 hour on Sunday?
God invites us to a 24/7 relationship. Here's your opportunity to
continue to explore the way God's word connects with this week's worship
theme. We invite you to spend some time each day discovering God's
word...

24/7 intro: As we continue our study of Philippians,
spend some time each day listening for God. If you haven't done so, use this
week to read Paul's letter to the Philippians. Otherwise, let these readings
help you reflect on the way God is making all things new.
This week:
Psalm 98,
Isaiah 43:16-19, Isaiah 65:17-25, Matthew 9:14–17, 2 Corinthians
5:16-21, Revelations 21: 1-5
