Podcast - Philippians 3 - The Surpassing Worth of Christ

There is a theme all throughout Scripture in which God illustrates our need to decrease in order for Heaven to increase in us, and this chapter is dripping with this concept all throughout.

We can only truly serve one master, and be under one rule...may it be the government that was on His shoulders (Isaiah 9:6-7)!!
