Message Guide

About This Message.

Paul had an impressive list of religious credentials, yet knowing Jesus changed how he valued every one of them. In this teaching on Philippians 3, Austin explores the limits of achievement and the danger of trying to build our standing with God through performance.

The righteousness we need comes from God through faith in Christ. From that place of grace, we are invited to know Jesus more deeply, experience His resurrection power, and follow Him even through suffering. The message calls us to examine our priorities and release whatever competes with a growing relationship with Him.

01

Rest in God’s grace

Bring your need for acceptance to Christ rather than relying on accomplishments or comparisons.

02

Reorder what you treasure

Examine the pursuits and identities that compete with knowing Jesus.

03

Follow Him more deeply

Seek a relationship with Christ that includes both His power and faithfulness in suffering.
