Listen "When Success Becomes the Enemy"
Episode Synopsis
We all chase success. Promotions, degrees, recognition, even ministry milestones. But what happens when those very blessings start replacing the grace that gave them meaning?In this message, Lane Brown of Chandler Street Church of Christ walks through Philippians 3, where Paul flips the world’s scoreboard. What once looked like gain—status, achievements, control—becomes loss next to the surpassing worth of knowing Jesus Christ.Through honest storytelling (including a dental chair in Costa Rica) and rich biblical insight, this sermon explores:Why even good things can become spiritual distractions.How God uses loss to build lasting faith.The difference between a “quick fix” faith and deep transformation.How surrender, not success, makes the Church credible again.Key Passage: Philippians 3:4–11Series: Pressing Upward, Going OutwardMessage Goal: Trade the temporary scoreboard of success for the eternal reward of knowing Christ.Subscribe to hear more real sermons that blend theology, story, and everyday faith.#BecomingTheGospel #PressingUpward #FaithOverSuccess
