深入学习(30分钟)
保罗写信给腓立比人，是要鼓励他们，让他们知道靠自己所作的事是不能得救的。保罗说，凡说能的，就是魔鬼。但为了说明他有多么确信这一点，他指出，如果有哪个人有权夸耀这类事情，那就是他自己。
阅 读腓立比书3：1-6
问题讨论：
1.你认为保罗为什么在信的一半就写“最后”了？（这么写并不少见，就像我们在结束谈话之前会说四次“还有一件事”一样。“最后”的意思是“哦，还有一件事”。保罗在第四章中再次用到“最后”。）
2.保罗在第二节提到的“犬类”是谁？（犬类是犹太教徒，犹太人认为要成为基督徒就必须遵守旧约。这意味着他们强迫那些基督信徒接受割礼，并遵守其他犹太习俗来皈依基督教。保罗还称这些人为“肉身叛变者”）
3.保罗说“我们是受割礼的人”时，他指的是谁？（保罗说，基督徒是真正的受割礼的人，有受割礼的心，他们“不信靠肉体”，只信靠耶稣得救。）
4.保罗所说的，有哪些是真的关于他的事，使他有资格按“犬类”的系统得救呢？（他是第八天受的割礼，属便雅悯支派、是希伯来人、是法利赛人......）
保罗潜在的骄傲
# 他在第八天接受了割礼，就像其他犹太人一样
# 他是以色列人便雅悯支派的人，是犹太人
# 他是希伯来人的希伯来人，是犹太教的典型代表
# 按律法说，他是法利赛人，熟知律法，像其他耶稣在世时的法利赛人一样
# 按热心说， 他在作保罗以前，曾是扫罗，以犹太人的身分逼迫过教会和基督徒
# 按法律上的义说，他是无可指摘的。他完全遵守了法律条文如果有人有权吹嘘自己的宗教成就，那就是保罗。然而他的语气在第7节发生了巨大的变化，他说到这一切是多么的毫无意义。
读 腓立比书3：7-9
这是保罗的观点。你每天花多少时间读圣经并不重要。你一周在教会呆多少小时并不重要。不管你去执行多少开展任务，也不管你给教会多少钱。以宗教成就为荣的人是现代的犹太教徒，保罗（和耶稣）会对这种功绩体系做出尖锐的判断。你要留心听保罗的话，留心听耶稣在你良心里的声音，劝你改变你的价值体系。
问题讨论
1.你以什么宗教成就为荣？看看你之前填写的清单。以宗教成就为荣比以非宗教成就为荣好吗？（没有）
2.保罗在第7节说他算什么是亏损？（他把任何他的“赢得“，都算作亏损。）
3.保罗在第8节说他算什么亏损？（他把“一切”和“每一个”都算作亏损。）
4.保罗在第8节如何描述他以前的生活方式？（像粪土一样。）
5.根据第9节，什么使我们成为义人？（“义”和“信”似乎是基督才有的，而不是我们能有的。换言之，是基督的义使我们成为义。他强调说，我们的救恩是藉着基督从神那里得来的，与我们自己如何没有什么关系。)
希腊语课程
希腊语中的“粪土“一词是skubala，指人类的粪便。腓立比，像大多数罗马城市一样，会有公共厕所，在那里人们可以草草的解决他们的需要。这词是与这种地方联在一起的。这就是保罗对在认识基督之前他的成就和财产的看法，是多么的不值。读 腓立比书3:10-16
一般讨论：
1.第10-11节对你意味着什么，特别是考虑到保罗的情况？(旨在鼓励讨论。)
2.保罗讨论的最终目标/奖励是什么？（保罗的终极目标是与耶稣同在，他等候在天国的那一刻。）
3.保罗所说的“竭力追求”是怎么回事？（文中明确指出，认识基督是真正竭力追求的唯一途径。）
4.你所面临的有哪些事情，使你无法与耶稣更近？什么样的态度、财产或外部压力阻碍了你？（旨在鼓励讨论。）
5.在第16节，“我们无论到了什么地步”是什么意思？（我们已经得救了，并且因着得救了，我们决定把基督放在第一位。因此，我们应该继续每天都这样做，竭力追求耶稣。）
应用(10分钟)
我们可以花很多时间和精力去做很多事情。也许我们花了很多时间去做宗教义务清单上的各种事。我们是如此的投入教会事物，以至于我们没有花时间与耶稣在一起。我们忙着告诉人们，他们是罪人，以至于我们没时间去爱他们。

练习册活动
我被祝福了吗？
（第二部分）
参考前面写的你那个单子。
1. 在听到保罗是如何看待他认识基督之前生活中的成就之后，你对清单上的每一项有何感想？
2. 这些事中有没有阻碍你跟随基督的事呢？
3. 你以什么为荣？你爱什么？你的名单上有什么需要为着耶稣基督而放弃的吗？
+++++++++++++++++
一起祷告
（你引导他们向神悔改时，让每个人在接下来的几分钟里闭上眼睛。告诉他们这只是他们和神之间的事。叫他们求神启示他们所要悔改的事。如果他们准备放弃，而此事与基督相比形如粪土，请他们在你祷告时举起手来。）
“哦，神啊，请把那些让我们远离你的东西拿走。与认识你相比，那些不过是粪土。与你相比，没有什么是重要的。把我们不需要的东西拿走，赐给我们祢的灵、祢的力量，还有祢自己。”
（下一步，让每个人把手放在一起，像是试图从水龙头里接住水似的）
现在默默祈祷一分钟左右，祈求神用重要的东西来充实你的生活：爱，信仰，和基督的灵。
跟我重复以下：
我乃是竭力追求，
或者可以取得基督耶稣所以取得我的。
我向着标竿竭力追求，
要得神在基督耶稣里，
召我向上去得的奖赏。
阿们！
（最后，让每个人紧握双手，形象地而且非常真实的来把握住神的应许。）
今晚你被神的灵改变了，这个改变将一直持续。
结束祷告(2分钟)

Lots of stuff(Activity/Icebreaker) Click here
(This activity can be completed individually, or if desired you can have the class break up into smaller groups of 4 or 5 and let the students share answers with the other members of the group.)
GETTING STARTED (10 minutes)
What in our lives brings us pride? What can we do well? What do we possess that makes us happy? Before we get into our lesson, let's take a few moments to think deeper about these questions.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Workbook Activity
How Am I Blessed? (Part 1)
Take a few moments to jot down some of the things you are blessed with and why. At least three or four things you do well, and three or four possessions you truly value or are proud of. Your examples will be used later on in the lesson.
Things I do well:
1. ______________________ Because: _______________________________________
2. ______________________ Because: _______________________________________
3. ______________________ Because: _______________________________________
4. ______________________ Because: _______________________________________
Possessions I truly value:
1. ______________________ Because: _______________________________________
2. ______________________ Because: _______________________________________
3. ______________________ Because: _______________________________________
4. ______________________ Because: _______________________________________
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
(Give the students a few minutes to think it through and write down their reponses. Remind them that this list will be used later in the lesson, so it is important to be honest.)
DIGGING IN (30 minutes)
Paul is writing to the Philippians to encourage them by knowing there is nothing they can do to achieve salvation by their own works. Anyone who says so, Paul says, is evil. But to illustrate how much he believes this, he points out that if anyone had the right to boast about such things, it is him.
Read Philippians 3:1-6
Discussion Questions
1. Why do you think Paul writes “finally” when he’s only about half way through his letter? (It was not uncommon to write like this, any more than it is for us to say, “one more thing” four times before we end a conversation. Finally just means “oh and one more thing. Paul says finally again in chapter four.)
2. Who were the “dogs” Paul talks about in verse 2? (The dogs were the Judaizers, jews who thought that the old testament had to be honored in order to be a Christian. This meant that they forced would-be followers of Christ to be circumcised and obey other Jewish customs to convert the Christianity. Paul also calls these people "mutilators of the flesh.")
3. Who is Paul referring to when he says “we are the circumcision"? (Paul is saying that Christians are the true circumcision, with circumcised hearts, who “put no confidence in the flesh,” but rely on Jesus for their salvation.)
4. What are some things Paul says are true of him that qualifies him for salvation according to the “dogs” system? (He was circumcised on the eight day, from the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew, a Pharisee, etc.)
++++++++++++++++++++
Paul's Potential Pride
• He was circumcised on the 8th day, as any jew would’ve been
• He is from the people of Israel, the tribe of Benjamin: he is Jewish
• He is a Hebrew of Hebrews, he’s a poster child of Judaism
• As for the law, he was a Pharisee and he knows his stuff, like the Pharisees of Jesus' day
• For zeal, before he was Paul, he was Saul who persecuted the church and Christians as a jew
• For legalistic righteousness, he was faultless. He kept the letter of the law perfectly
++++++++++++++++++++
If anyone had a right to brag about personal religious accomplishment, it’s Paul. And yet his tone changes in verse 7 dramatically, and he talks about how it is all meaningless
Read Philippians 3:7-9
Here is Paul's point. It doesn’t matter how much time you spend each day reading the Bible. It doesn’t matter how many hours a week you spend at church. It doesn’t matter how many missions trips you go on or how much money you give to the church. People who take pride in religious accomplishments are modern-day judaizers, and Paul (and Jesus) would stand in sharp judgment against such merit systems. Listen to where Paul goes with this, and listen for the voice of Jesus in your conscience, urging you to change your value system.
Discussion Questions
1. What religious accomplishments do you take pride in? Take a look at your list completed earlier. Is taking pride in religious accomplishments any better than taking pride in non-religious achievements? (No.)
2. What does Paul say he counts as loss in verse 7? (He counts “whatever” was to his profit as loss.)
3. What does Paul say he counts as loss in verse 8? (He counts “everything” and “all things” as loss.)
4. How does Paul describe his former way of life in verse 8? (As rubbish.)
+++++++++++++++++++
Lesson in Greek
The Greek word for rubbish is skubala, which is the word for waste, the human kind. Philippi, like most Roman cities, would have had public bathrooms, where the people did their business indiscreetly. This word was associated with such places, and that is how worthless Paul thought of his accomplishments and possessions before knowing Christ.
+++++++++++++++++++++
5. What makes us righteous according to verse 9? ("Righteous", as well as “faith”, seems to be possessed by Christ, not us. In other words, it is Christ’s righteousness that makes us righteousness. He is reinforcing that our salvation is from God, through Christ, and has very little to do with us.)
Read Philippians 3:10-16
1. What do verses 10-11 mean to you, especially considering Paul’s circumstances? (Meant to stimulate discussion.)
2. What is the ultimate goal/prize that Paul discusses? (The ultimate goal for Paul is to be with Jesus, and he awaits the moment when that is so in Heaven.)
3. How does one "press on" as indicated by Paul? (The text makes it clear that knowing Christ is the only way to truly press on.)
4. What kind of things do you face that keep you from being closer to Jesus? What attitudes, possessions, or external stressors hold you back? (Meant to stimulate discussion.)
5. What does "What we have already obtained" mean in verse 16? (We have already obtained salvation, and with salvation we decided to put Christ first. As such, we should continue to do so each day, pressing forward towards Jesus.)
MAKING IT REAL (10 minutes)
We can spend a lot of time and energy trying to do a lot of things. Perhaps we spend a lot of time checking things off our religious checklist. We are so involved in church that we don’t spend time with Jesus. We are so busy telling people they are sinners that we don’t love anyone.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Workbook Activity (10 minutes)
How Am I Blessed? (Part 2)
Refer to the list you created at the beginning of this lesson.
After hearing what Paul said about how he considered his accomplishments in life before knowing Christ, how does that make you feel about each item on your list?
________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________
What if any of these things may be holding you back or hindering you from following Christ?
_________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________
What are you proud of? What do you have that you love? Is there anything on your list you need to surrender to Jesus Christ?
_______________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Partners in Prayer
(Have everyone close their eyes for the next few minutes as you lead them in a time of surrender to God. Explain that this is just between them and God. Have them ask God to reveal something that they need to give over to Him. If they are ready to give it up, if it is rubbish compared to Christ, ask them to simply raise their hands in the air as you pray.)
"Oh, God, please take from us the things that keep us far from You. They are but trash in comparison to knowing You. Compared to You, nothing is significant. Take from us what we don’t need and give to us Your spirit, Your strength, Yourself."
(Next, ask everyone to lower their hands and put them together, cupped as if trying to trap water from a faucet.)
Now pray silently for a minute or so, and ask for God to fill your life with the things that matter: love, faith, and the spirit of Christ.
Repeat the following with me:
I press on...
To take hold...
Of that which Christ took hold for me...
I press on towards the goal...
To obtain the prize in Heaven...
I will take hold of it...
Amen
(Finally, ask everyone to grip their hands together, and take hold of the promises of God not only figuratively, but in a very real way.)
Tonight you have been changed by the Spirit of God, and it can last.
