Philippians 3:4b-14 | You may have heard people refer to money or other material possessions as “blessings” from God. But does that mean God’s blessings, or God’s love, are only given to those who have material things? This week as we continue in our stewardship series, we’ll wrestle with this question and heed Paul’s words to the Philippians, urging us to consider what is valuable, what is worth our pursuit, and what it means to take up the mind of Christ – the mind of humility and servitude.
Note: due to technical difficulties, the video begins 30 seconds into Pastor Aleese’s sermon and therefore does not include the beginning portion of worship. Consider reading Philippians 3:4b-14 on your own before listening in!
