Read as you listen: Chuck Smith on Philippians 3

Read the opening of his teaching

Shall we turn now in our Bibles to Philippians 3.

Again, remember that the background of this epistle, Paul is chained to a Roman soldier in Rome, in prison, writing to the Philippians.

The keynote of the epistle is rejoice, and he said,

Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord (3:1).

You know, oftentimes it is extremely difficult to rejoice in circumstances. In fact, I think sometimes it is impossible to rejoice in circumstances. I just did a dumb thing, I ran through a red light and hit somebody and I am being sued for a million dollars. It is hard to rejoice in circumstances. But you can always rejoice in the Lord, because He is above circumstances. So, the exhortation in the scripture is always that of rejoicing in the Lord.
