Blinded to See

Living Stones Sparks

In this sermon on Philippians 3:1-14, Pastor Carlos discusses the transformative power of encountering Christ, using the Apostle Paul's journey from self-righteous Pharisee to humble follower of Christ as a powerful example. The sermon emphasizes the futility of relying on one's own achievements for righteousness, the importance of counting all worldly gains as loss, and the necessity of striving towards the goal of Christlikeness. Through the lens of Paul's experience, the sermon calls congregants to live differently in light of God's grace and holiness, and challenges them to embrace a life of faith and unity, aiming to know Christ and share in both His resurrection and His sufferings.
