What are you trusting to make you acceptable to God?
In Philippians 3:4-9, the Apostle Paul takes the most impressive religious resume imaginable and calls it rubbish. Not because credentials are worthless, but because anything we use as a substitute for Christ will not hold on the last day.
In this sermon, we walk through Paul's seven-point resume, his radical reclassification of everything he once counted as gain, and what it means that the only righteousness that saves is one we receive by faith, not one we build by effort.
Topics covered:
Why religious credentials cannot save you
The meaning of "skubalon" (rubbish) in Philippians 3:8
What it means to be found in Christ
The difference between knowing about Christ and knowing Christ
The gospel of imputed righteousness
