A Resume Worth Losing

The sermon explored Philippians 3:1-11, in which the apostle Paul warns the church at Philippi against false teachers who added requirements to the gospel, and then presents his own impressive resume of religious achievement only to count it all as loss compared to knowing Christ. The passage challenges us to examine where we place our confidence for right standing before God, and calls us to rest not in our own works, accomplishments, or inherited traditions, but in Christ alone. The sermon walked through three foundational theological concepts that define the Christian journey: justification, sanctification, and glorification, each rooted in what Christ has done rather than what we have done.
