Philippians 3 - 4

PhilippiansSteve Gregg
In this insightful examination of Philippians 3-4, Steve Gregg warns against a complexified Christianity and highlights the necessity of finding true righteousness in Christ rather than in fleshly observances of the law. He emphasizes the need to press toward a high calling in God and pursue a perfect heart toward Him, even while acknowledging that perfection is not attained in this life. Gregg also addresses the issue of worry and encourages listeners to find peace in resigning oneself to the Lord's control, using examples like George Mueller to inspire faith and trust in God's provision.
