Jeremy Utley - Counting our strengths as loss
Summary
The speaker discusses the spiritual danger of becoming proud due to success or compliments, using the example of King Uzziah. He emphasizes that strength itself is not the problem, but the resulting pride is. Drawing from Paul's Philippians 3, the core message is to count all personal strengths and achievements as 'loss' for the sake of Christ, ensuring that all ability is acknowledged as a gift from God to prevent spiritual stumbling.

The speaker discusses Philippians 3:7-8, emphasizing the need to re-evaluate what the world considers advantageous. He urges listeners to take stock of their natural strengths or achievements and intentionally count them as disadvantages when approaching God's Word. True advantage is found by desiring to be like a 'babe' in spiritual understanding, relying solely on the Holy Spirit rather than personal learning or ability.
