VS | Week 1 | Philippians 3:1-11
January 18, 2014

Knowing Jesus brings a joy that achievement and religious effort cannot provide. Brandon Williams explores Philippians 3:1–11, where Paul sets aside confidence in his background and accomplishments for the surpassing worth of knowing Christ. Righteousness comes through faith in Jesus, and worship flows from the Spirit’s work within us. The message challenges listeners to look beyond outward appearances and ask whether they truly know the Lord. A growing relationship begins with meeting him, deepens through intentional investment, and brings enjoyment in his love. Through Scripture, prayer, worship, and community, believers are invited to keep their eyes on Jesus and allow him to change their hearts.
