In this powerful sermon, we explore Philippians 3:4-11 where the Apostle Paul shares his incredible testimony of counting all his accomplishments and privileges as loss for the sake of knowing Christ.
Paul lists out an impressive resume of Jewish heritage, education, zeal for the law, and religious pedigree. Yet he was willing to surrender it all, considering it as rubbish, in order to gain the surpassing worth of knowing Jesus Christ as Lord.

We learn the danger of finding our identity in external achievements, possessions or others' opinions. Instead, Paul shows us that our true identity is meant to be rooted in our spiritual union with Christ. When we are crucified with Christ and He lives in us, we experience lasting purpose, security and joy that the world can never provide.

This sermon challenges us to let go of any pursuit of self-righteousness through our own efforts. True righteousness comes as an undeserved gift received by grace through faith in Christ alone. We are called to know Christ fully - not just the benefits of His resurrection power, but embracing the fellowship of His sufferings as well.

In the end, we are compelled to surrender all our former pursuits and "trophies" at the feet of Jesus. For in Him is true life, an eternal inheritance, and everlasting joy. Let us boast in Christ alone and find our unshakable identity in Him.
