WINNING BY LOSING

#7 in the Unbreakable Joy series
Tim Cartwright

Key Passage: Philippians 3:1-11

Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me and is safe for you. – Philippians 3:1

“But, as it is, our Lod has borne patiently with us: forgiving our sins, giving his Spirit to us, hearing our prayers, and instructing us in his Word again and again. He has done all these things as if they were ‘no trouble’ to him because they are safe for us, his beloved children.” – Meagan Hill

• Galatians 3:2

Winning by Losing

• Philippians 3:7-8
• Philippians 2:5-7

The Old Life	The New Life
count gains…	as loss for Christ
everything as loss…	for the value of knowing Christ
I have lost all things…	for whom (Christ)
count them as dung…	that I may gain Christ

“Holiness is the habit of being of one mind with God, according as we find His mind described in Scripture. It is the habit of agreeing in God’s judgement, hating what He hates, loving what He loves, and measuring everything in this world by the standard of His Word.” – J.C. Ryle
