It's Contagious, Pass It On (Part 6)

Dr. Michael Youssef declares that true joy cannot exist in a stagnant soul. Preaching from Philippians 3:12–21, he confronts the deadly trap of spiritual complacency and calls believers to press on toward Christlikeness. Just as physical growth requires pain, spiritual growth demands brokenness, repentance, and a holy dissatisfaction with the status quo. The joy of the Lord is reserved for those who let go of the past and fix their eyes on Christ, the Author and Finisher of our faith. Dr. Youssef warns against the lies of modern Gnosticism infiltrating the church and urges believers to live with urgency, purity, and heaven-bound focus—appropriating the full advantages of Gospel joy through faithful obedience.
