Knowledge of God keeps you, growing

Paul Pierucki · December 28, 2025

In this final message of 2025, Pastor Pierucki preaches from Philippians 3 on pressing toward the mark, forgetting the things behind, and never ceasing to grow in the Lord no matter how long you have been saved. He emphasizes that the knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ is what changes us, keeps us, and guards our thoughts, and he defends eternal security and the sufficiency of the blood of Christ against Lordship salvation and self-righteousness. The message calls believers to fix themselves rather than others, to press on without dwelling on the past, and to keep their eyes on heaven and eternity.

“But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. …”
Philippians 3:7-15 (KJV)
