SCRIPTURE REFERENCES FOR THIS SERMON:
Philippians 3:4-8
3:4 —though mine, too, are significant. If someone thinks he has good reasons to put confidence in human credentials, I have more:
5 I was circumcised on the eighth day, from the people of Israel and the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews. I lived according to the law as a Pharisee.
6 In my zeal for God I persecuted the church. According to the righteousness stipulated in the law I was blameless.
7 But these assets I have come to regard as liabilities because of Christ.
8 More than that, I now regard all things as liabilities compared to the far greater value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things —indeed, I regard them as dung!—that I may gain Christ
