- Dr. L. Keith Harper was Professor of Baptist Studies. Dr. Daniel Akin offers a word of welcome and provides the school’s mission (0:00-0:35). Dr. Harper begins his sermon by reading from Philippians 3:1-14 (0:36-3:17). He explains that the main theme of Philippians is the sufficiency of Christ (3:18-5:02). He separates the Scripture reading into three parts: Paul’s warning (verses 1-6), what Paul wanted more than anything else (verses 7-11), and Paul’s confession (12-14) (5:03-5:27). In verses 1-6, Paul warns his readers of the enemies of the cross who place the law above faith and warns them of themselves (5:28-13:01). Reading from verses 7-11, Dr. Harper discusses Paul’s desire to know Christ better after his conversion on the road to Damascus and illustrates that Paul’s greatest gain was losing his old life (13:02-25:38). Dr. Harper presents Paul’s confession in verses 12-14: Paul is continuing to run the race for the glory of God (25:39-29:58). He then provides a quote from J.I. Packer’s “Knowing God” and expresses his wish that all believers would seek a deeper understanding of God (29:59-34:08). He concludes his sermon with a prayer (34:09-34:46). Dr. Akin gives a final word (34:47-35:50).
