the greatest treasure in life
Pastor John preaches a message from Philippians 3:4-11. The Greatest Treasure in Life. We live in a world that is so sinfully self-absorbed that the highest priority in life easily becomes “me, myself & I.” We matter most to us. In essence, we are our own greatest treasure. And because of this, we’re always stuck on a performance treadmill of our own creation, looking for some way (even an extreme makeover) to make ourselves better. Paul, before he became a Christian, was this type of person. He called it “putting confidence in the flesh.” He just knew that he was the best, had to stay the best, and that the whole goal of life is to always be at the very pinnacle of your game. It’s all about earning your way – always proving your value to self, others, and eventually to God. The problem is that this simply doesn’t work. Self-absorption leaves you empty. Paul says it makes you feel like “trash.” Instead he found something different. He found what (actually “who”) truly is life’s greatest treasure and in this study we’ll let him tell us all about it.
