What’s your one thing? The one thing you value above everything else?

Perhaps it’s your professional success, your financial security, your physical health, or your family's reputation. Maybe it’s a list of your very best habits - the fact that you treat people right, stay disciplined, raise great kids, and champion good causes. We pour our time and best energy into these things, and they are genuinely good. The danger is that we secretly lean on them to prove our worth, convincing ourselves that our track record is what makes us right with God.

This Sunday, we are diving back into Philippians to see a man who had the ultimate scorecard of success. The Apostle Paul valued a lot of different things, but when Jesus broke into his life, everything changed. He branded it all as “rubbish” in comparison to that which has truly surpassing value: knowing Jesus.
