The Trouble with Self-Justification - Philippians 3:1-9

Synopsis

We are starting a new sermon series this week: Following Christ in the Suburbs. We are so blessed to live where we do. Safe towns, great schools, and access to so much commerce. But to follow Christ in the suburbs brings certain challenges, also. And we're going to start where we need to this week: with the heart. We have, it seems, a nearly endless need to self-justify. We have a deep need to prove ourselves before friends, family, bosses, God and even ourselves. Self-justification is not a problem only for those living in the suburbs. But this default mode of our hearts is exasperated in specific ways here that we must take stock of and deal with. To follow Christ faithfully and joyfully, we must again see, know and believe his gospel. Let's pray for fruit this Sunday.
