The Sermon Scripture this week is Philippians 2: 5-11. It is drawn from "The Bible: An Introduction" resource that we have produced at our church. It is a piece of Scripture I recommend people
take to heart and to memory. For it is
the backstory of Jesus, before he came to us, and the postscript-what happens
between the gospels and the Second Coming.
The Scriptures this week are drawn from connections made during Sunday’s
Sermon.
Mon. Aug. 15: Philippians 2: 1-18--This is Sunday’s passage
placed in its wider context in the letter to Philippi.
Tue. Aug. 16: Luke 2: 1-20—The angels come to the shepherds
at Christmas. Reflect on the song of the
angels in the light of the words of Philippians 2: 5-11. They knew this story.
Wed. Aug. 17: Genesis 3—This is the story of the fall of
Adam and Eve. It contains the curses
placed upon them, but note vs. 22-God speaks of ‘Themselves’ in the plural.
Thu. Aug. 18: Deuteronomy 5: 1-21—This is the ‘second’
recording of the Ten Commandments. Note
verse 8, in the ‘idols’ commandment, same formula of application as Philippians
2:10.
Fri. Aug. 19: Romans 3: 9-26—Paul demonstrates that the
death of Jesus takes away the judgment of sin and the penalty of death from
those who believe, a promise to bring relief to all who believe in Him.
Sat. Aug. 20: Matthew 11: 20-30—This is a passage of
contrasts, cursings and blessings, but it concludes with beautiful promise of
Jesus that there is nothing we cannot lay upon His shoulders that He will not
remove from between us and Himself.
