Phillipians 3:7-14
Built to be Real

What if church were a place where we could stop pretending?

We all wear masks—the “I’m fine” mask, the “I’m spiritual” mask, the “I’ve got it together” mask. But in Philippians 3, the Apostle Paul gets real. Despite his impressive credentials and accomplishments, Paul admits that he still desperately needs Jesus and hasn’t yet arrived.

Authentic faith isn’t pretending we have it all together. Real faith keeps pressing on because Jesus has taken hold of us.

In this message from our Built for This series, we discover what it means to be a church where we can be honest about who we are, what we believe, and who we are becoming. We can put down the masks, leave the past behind, and press on together toward Jesus.

Questions to consider:
• Where am I pretending?
• Where do I need to be honest with God?
• Who is one safe, godly person I can ask to pray with me?
