Sermon Notes:
Even If I Lose Everything
Pastor Alan Hannah
Whatever happens, my dear brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord. I never get tired of telling you these things, and I do it to safeguard your faith. [Philippians 3:1]
2Watch out for those dogs, those people who do evil, those mutilators who say you must be circumcised to be saved. [Philippians 3:2]
7I once thought these things were valuable, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done.
8Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ… [Philippians 3:7-8]
21He said, “I came naked from my mother’s womb, and I will be naked when I leave. The LORD gave me what I had, and the LORD has taken it away. Praise the name of the LORD!” [Job 1:21]
34You suffered along with those who were thrown into jail, and when all you owned was taken from you, you accepted it with joy. You knew there were better things waiting for you that will last forever. [Hebrews 10:34]
10I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death, 11so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the dead! [Philippians 3:10-11]
