Philpott's sermon "Getting and Losing" explores the spiritual lessons behind Ecclesiastes 3:6, emphasizing that there is a divinely appointed time to get, lose, keep, and cast away in the Christian life. The sermon highlights the spiritual growth process involving gaining knowledge of God and self, losing self-righteousness and fleshly holiness, keeping the blessings God imparts, and casting away what is not from God.
