In this message, we reflect on the book of Philippians, where Paul teaches that true joy isn't about escaping hardship but finding Christ in the midst of it. He challenges us to examine our faith, not relying on works, status, or worldly gain, but instead seeking an intimate relationship with Jesus.

Through this, we discover that salvation is not just a moment but a lifelong pursuit of knowing and growing in Christ. Are we truly seeking Jesus, or just going in circles? Let's dive into Philippians 3 and find out.

In this message, we dive into the simplicity and power of the Gospel using math as a lens to understand spiritual truths. The core equation? Jesus + nothing = salvation.

From there, we unpack how Christ's humility, His willingness to become human, and His sacrifice calls us to live with the same mindset: valuing others above ourselves and rejecting selfish ambition. This message challenges us to examine our thoughts and motives, pursue unity, and reflect Christ's love in all we do.
