    This sermon contrasts the world's frantic and exhausting path to strength with God's divine invitation to find salvation and power through the "unforced rhythm" of returning to and resting in Him.

    Introduction: The Tyranny of the Urgent I want you to picture a scene. It's late at night. A student sits hunched over a desk, surrounded by textbooks and empty coffee mugs. Their eyes are gritty with exhaustion, their mind a frantic buzz of facts and figures. Fear of failure is a physical ...read more

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Aug 20, 2025
     | 256 views

    This sermon on Philippians 3:7-8 explores why the Apostle Paul counted his most impressive achievements as worthless garbage, revealing the radical re-evaluation of life that occurs when we discover the surpassing worth of knowing Jesus Christ.

    Title: The Divine Audit: Recalculating the Worth of Your Life Text: Philippians 3:7-8 (KJV) At certain times in our lives, it’s wise to take stock.

    Jesus taught us is to challenge us and to encourage us.

    The Blessed People Today, let's meditate on the gospel according to Matthew, chapter 5. The sermon that Jesus delivers is affectionately called the sermon on the mount.

    Today in heaven, all that the Lord has from this earth, are scars – in His hands, feet, side and head. He also has a glorified human body. We leave this earth with nothing, not a thing.
