A Very Small Thing | Pastor B.J.Stagner The opinions of men—whether criticism or praise—must never become the controlling authority of the believer's life.
 Paul addresses both dangers in this passage: 1 Corinthians 4:1–5: "Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. 3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. 4 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. 5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God." Notice three areas of judgment in this passage. Others, Our's and The Lord - Whose Verdict Controls You? Have you recently decided to follow Jesus?

In this message from Philippians 3:7–11, Pastor Byron Chesney examines the Apostle Paul's deepest desire: "That I may know him." Paul had knowledge, experience, influence, and a powerful ministry, yet he understood that nothing compared with personally knowing Jesus Christ. The sermon explains the difference between knowing about Christ and walking with Him in a close, daily relationship. It also considers the power of Christ's resurrection, the fellowship of His sufferings, and Paul's willingness to be fully conformed to his Lord. This message challenges every believer to examine what matters most and to make knowing Christ the greatest pursuit of life.

This sermon encourages believers to embrace a 'mind to work' for the Lord by first cultivating a deep burden for His mission. It outlines how genuine service requires facing adversity and opposition without quitting, relying on the truth that God is greater than any challenge. The message emphasizes that effective ministry involves everyone contributing their part while standing firm in faith, knowing that God fights the battles for those who remain steadfast. By sharing burdens within the community and resisting discouragement, believers can achieve remarkable results through divine empowerment rather than human effort alone.
