Philippians 3:7-11
Open your bibles to Philippians 3. You have all probably heard of, if not played the popular game 'Would You Rather'. It's a game where people pose a dilemma in the form of a question beginning with ''would you rather'' and then give two options that usually have their positives and negatives.

Option #2: You must give up all of your freedom, all of your family, all of your finances, and any future life that people call normal. You have to give up everything except one thing. You can have Jesus. You can have connection, conversation, communion, and companionship with Him.
Would you rather have EVERYTHING except Jesus or you can have NOTHING but Jesus?
Would you choose? Which would you rather have? Now, be careful. We're in church. Lying to your pastor while in church during a service is a triple sin, ok? You know what you should say. You know what you are expected to say. You know what you'd like to say. But take a moment and be honest with yourself...Which would you rather have? Would you rather h ...
