75) Devotional - Philippians 3:8 Jesus Above All Else - Let's Get Practical
Today we explore Philippians 3:8, reflecting on the profound truth that knowing Jesus surpasses all else. Through a personal analogy of pruning tomato plants, Carrie illustrates the importance of removing both unproductive and healthy branches in our spiritual lives to focus on what God truly desires for us. The meeting emphasizes the need for self-evaluation with the help of the Holy Spirit, encouraging listeners to discard anything preventing them from embracing God's best. Listeners are also invited to a free workshop titled "Renew your Strength" on February 9th, aimed at providing practical steps for spiritual pruning. The session concludes with a powerful reminder of the listeners' roles in the Kingdom of Heaven, empowering them to confidently embrace their responsibilities and rights.
