Taste & See | Hunger for the Right Things | January 25, 2026
In Week 4 of our series "Taste and See: Developing Spiritual Hunger", Pastor Jon explores Philippians 3 and Paul's radical transformation from zealous persecutor to passionate follower of Christ. Through Paul's dramatic conversion story, we see how one encounter with Jesus completely shifted his perspective—from finding identity in religious achievements to counting everything as loss compared to knowing Christ. Pastor Jon challenges us to examine our own spiritual appetites: Are we hungering after temporary things that will fade, or pursuing what truly matters? We learn that authentic Christianity isn't about perfection but perspective—seeing everything through the lens of knowing Jesus. The message culminates in a stirring call to evaluate what we're truly pursuing, align our hearts with God's purposes, and press on toward the ultimate prize of intimately knowing Christ. This isn't just about belief—it's about allowing Jesus to completely transform what we value and chase after.
