This message challenges each of us to take a long, honest look at what we truly treasure. Paul’s words remind us that everything we chase—our achievements, status, comforts, even our own sense of righteousness—is ultimately worthless compared to knowing Christ. Giving up everything doesn’t mean living without joy; it means freeing ourselves from the distractions and counterfeit treasures of this world so that we can fully embrace the life, power, and presence of Jesus. True joy, true purpose, and eternal fulfillment are found not in what we cling to but in pressing on daily toward Christ, letting go of the past, and running toward the heavenly prize He has prepared. Today is a call to surrender, to trust, and to live with eyes fixed on the One who gives everything worth having.

In His Service,

Pastor Brock
