My Favorite Chapter of the Bible

Do you have a favorite portion of Scripture?

One of my Bible teachers used to say that his favorite passage of Scripture was the one he was studying at the time. “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable…” (2 Timothy 3:16). Jesus said it this way, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4).

Every word. We need it all. And yet at specific places along life’s path, you will find that particular Scriptures take on special meaning. Some of those will stay with you for a lifetime.

Philippians 3 is my favorite chapter of the Bible. When I was just a teenager, God began to use these powerful verses in my life. Twenty-five years later, they minister to me in an even deeper way.

The Word of God is wonderful that way. It is like a rich mine that you never exhaust. A deep well that never runs dry.

Today on the “Enjoying the Journey” podcast, we begin to walk through Philippians 3. I look forward to sharing the truths God has been teaching me and would love to have you join me in this study. The first episode is now available, and a new 10-minute broadcast is posted daily.

There are several ways to join the study:

God has so much to teach us all from this wonderful chapter. It may just become one of your favorites, too! Join me at Philippians 3:1 today…

“Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.” (John 1:47-48)

It also discusses the Four Sermons in Haggai It is in that context that God raises up the prophet Haggai with four sermons in four months. The Word of the Lord comes to Haggai, and he preaches four sermons. Each one of them is dated for us. Each sermon targets a different problem. You can read them in Haggai chapters one and two. In his first sermon (Haggai 1:1-15), Haggai preached on the danger of waiting when we should be working. They were waiting for a sign to build. He said, You don't need a sign, you need to obey God. Haggai's second sermon (Haggai 2:1-9) explained the danger of lamenting the past and missing the present. They were sorrowing over the destruction of the past temple. God said, Build a new one. It was G. Campbell Morgan who said, “It is impossible to unlock the present with the rusty key of the past." Many people are bogged down in their past and miss the present. Keep in mind what is at hand and what is ahead. The third sermon he preached (Haggai 2:10-19) described the danger of seeing only the material and neglecting the supernatural. They could see the work that needed to be done, but they missed the fact that God had resources that would help them get it done. The Lord was behind all of this. The fourth sermon (Haggai 2:20-23) warned against the danger of recognizing who is against us and forgetting who is for us. They were concentrating on the opposition and forgetting that “greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4). A journey through Haggai shows us the importance of performing the work that God has told us to do, and His glory in our obedience. Image leads to an overview of Haggai
