Captivated by Christ (Philippians 3:7-14)

Sermon: Captivated by Christ (Philippians 3:7-14)

In a world overflowing with distractions—it’s easy to lose focus on what truly matters. Americans spend over $100 billion annually on gambling, 60+ hours a year on pornography, and 2+ hours daily scrolling social media. We drop $18,000 yearly on non-essentials and fill our homes with 300,000+ items, chasing fleeting thrills and empty promises. But what if there’s something worth more than all of this combined?

In this message, "Captivated by Christ," a sermon from Philippians 3:7-14, the Apostle Paul reveals what it means to trade worldly captivations for the surpassing worth of knowing Jesus. From his prison cell, Paul calls his impressive past—status, achievements, everything—“rubbish” compared to Christ. His testimony challenges us: What captivates our hearts? And is it worth the cost?
