What is the most important thing in your life? What do you value more than anything else?
Those questions have a way of exposing what really matters to us—what we pursue, what we protect, and where we find our sense of significance, worth, and identity. 
In Philippians 3:7–11, we hear how the apostle Paul would answer those questions. And his answer is surprising, disarming, and deeply freeing.

Do you ever get tired of religion? In this episode of Timeless Truth, Pastor Jim Thomas explores Philippians 3:1-6 and the danger of "meaningless rituals" or rule-following. We examine how the Apostle Paul—a man with every religious credential imaginable—renounced his own "prowess and practice" to find a preeminent value in Christ alone. Join us as we discuss how true religion begins when grace sets us free from the "red ink" of self-righteousness and allows us to rest in the finished work of Jesus.
