In the third installment of our series, "Philippians: A Call to Counterintuitive Living," Lead Pastor Bartley Sawatsky explores the profound truths found in Philippians 2:12-3:11. Titled "It’s a Joy to Sacrifice Your Life. Worldly Loss is Spiritual Gain," this message delves into the paradoxical nature of Christian living. Pastor Bartley challenges contemporary believers to embrace the tension between seemingly contradictory truths: the divine gift of salvation and the call to actively participate in our spiritual growth. Using vivid illustrations and personal anecdotes, he unpacks the joy found in self-sacrifice and the spiritual gains that come from relinquishing worldly identities to fully embrace Christ. Join us in discovering how living out these counterintuitive principles can transform our faith journey and bring deeper joy and fulfillment.
