INTO THE DEEP - Knowing Christ

Send us Fan Mail What does it truly mean to know Christ? In this challenging message, we dive into Philippians 3 where Paul declares everything in his life "worthless" compared to the infinite value of knowing Jesus. The spiritual journey isn't about religious performance or checking boxes. You can attend church faithfully, know all the right terminology, and still miss the transformative relationship that Christ offers. As believers, we must examine what we're clinging to that's preventing deeper intimacy with Jesus. Is it your reputation? Your comfort? Your theological knowledge? Or perhaps even your religious routines? "Maybe God's not so concerned about your breakthrough and he's worried about your brokenness." This striking statement challenges our typical approach to spiritual growth. We eagerly welcome miracles, breakthroughs, and mountaintop experiences while resisting suffering, waiting, and wilderness seasons. Yet Romans 8:17 reminds us that if we share in Christ's glory, we must also share in His suffering. Spiritual maturity manifests when we recognize God at work even in our darkest moments. Just as a broken bone must be exposed before healing, our spiritual wounds must be brought to light before Christ can fully restore us. Many believers carry burdens—both spiritual and physical—that should have been released years ago, simply because they refuse to expose what hurts. Ready to experience resurrection power? It begins with putting things to death. God is calling us into deeper waters—not into religious busyness, but into authentic relationship with Him. Will you answer that call today?
