"Sharing in the Vision"
In this powerful message, Pastor Gary vulnerably shares his personal journey from pursuing musical success to discovering the surpassing worth of knowing Christ. Through the lens of Philippians 3, he challenges us to examine what we truly value by looking at our calendars, bank accounts, and decisions. Drawing from Paul's radical transformation, Pastor Gary illustrates how trading earthly treasures for Christ isn't about loss but eternal gain. He shares his own wake-up call when his daughter asked if he "lived at the church," prompting him to realign his priorities with his proclaimed values. With practical wisdom, he outlines three transformative values: treasuring Jesus above all else, investing in what lasts forever through discipleship, and living with eternal urgency. His compelling call to action urges listeners to close their own "value gaps" through intentional daily Bible reading, investing in one person for discipleship, and engaging in church service opportunities. The message resonates with both conviction and hope, reminding us that when we align our lives with eternal values, we don't lose—we gain everything that truly matters.
