Surprising Value

Philippians 3:1-14
Whatever were gains to me I consider loss for the sake of Christ.
1. Abandon worthless garbage. (Phil. 3:1-7)

• “I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ.“  Philippians 3:9

2. Discover ultimate worth. (Phil. 3:1-7)

• “God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.“ ~ 2 Corinthians 9:8

3. Protect your most valuable asset. (Phil. 3:12-14)

• ”The kingdom of heave is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.” ~ Matthew 13:44

Climb the Generosity Ladder

• Non-giver: I don’t give.
• Occasional giver: I give when it hits me.
• Intentional giver: I give consistently.
• Tithe-giver: I give 10%.
• Extravagant giver: I give sacrificially.
